Whether or not beginners are imbued with the spirit of the Way, they should carefully read and study the sagacious teachings of the scriptures and treatises. Tenacious opinionation is not transmitted by your parents it is just that you have tacitly come to believe in opinions for no reason other than that over time you have picked up what people say. Even if you do understand something, you should ask yourself if there might be something you have not yet fully resolved, or if there may be some higher meaning yet.Īlthough a suspicious mind is bad, still it is wrong to cling to what you shouldn't believe in, or fail to ask about a truth you should seek.Įven if you have thoroughly studied the stories of the ancients and you sit constantly like iron or stone, as long as you are attached to yourself you cannot find the Way of the enlightened, ever.Īlthough the Way is complete in everyone, realization of the Way depends on a combination of conditions.
