If I chose not to think or say anything for a moment then does that mean
I chose not to be during that moment. Or does the practice or chose by
itself force me to exist
Chuck replies:
Have you the ability to truly not think anything for a moment? How long a
moment? How about 10 seconds? If you do, you are Buddha and I need to seek
you out and follow you around.
In all seriousness, try it. Truly clearing your mind and thinking of
nothing for more than the most fleeting of moments isn't easy.
Again, that's the point of meditation. Once you achieve that "nothingness,"
"no-set", Mu, then you're on your way to lounging in the shade of the Bodhi
Tree where you realize lines are illusions thus ego is an illusion and so is
"me."
Best regards,
Chuck
