Zen and the Art of Psychotherapy

Sitting - recognising bare attention. It lights up. (Samadhi is prajna).

Asking, who - not so much to get an answer, but to cut off the possibility of getting lost in identity with passing thoughts.

Tung- Shan says

"Just avoid seeking from others,

Or you will be estranged from yourself.

I now go on alone; I meet Him everywhere -

I am not it, but it is all of me.

One must understand this way

In order to unite with thusness"

The freedom of not taking thoughts - or any of the machinery of consciousness - not to be self - is the doorway to being at large.
