SHACK 4059 ZEN--NO SUCH THING

Courtesy There is no teacher of Zen 1

How can you teach Zen when there is nothing to teach? Teaching implies there is something to verbalise, make a statement and in essence Zen is without words but a direct experience of the transcendence not by effort or ego contrivances of intellectual academic logical or even abstract thought the absolute eradication of inculcation, the cloned mind, a mind emptied of content and yet aware of itself and fully present, fully present without content.  This then is not definable and so the word Zen is of no use.

When the mind is seen as the content of thought and thought then experienced as an appearance of learned pass down data and it appears and is recognised by the awareness and that the awareness is the screen on which this data arises from a store of thoughts then the illusion of thought is comprehended and not a necessity, a necessity for every day simple living only then it is quietly dropped as to its primary importance and as in Image 2 one is is less cluttered and the gaps are then incorporated and peace ensues.

What is Zen then, perhaps another thought that can be dropped and yet Zen did have a purpose, the purpose being to enable the comprehension of no thought and no mind and as to what  is comprehension ----well?

FROM A HUMAN IN FORM AS YET
