Observe and perceive, and live consciously in the present moment at every moment!

All you have to do is do it wholeheartedly, unreservedly, dare to explore every corner of your heart, and sacrifice everything for awareness! Only in this way will the inner flame be discovered by you, and it will be there.

01

Awareness can make you your own master.

When you walk in the street, you will notice a lot of things: businesses along the road, passers-by, vehicles, you notice a lot of things, except one thing, is yourself.

You are walking on the road, you are aware of many things, but you are not aware of yourself, this awareness of yourself, that is, "remember yourself," he said, "No matter where you are, always remember yourself."

No matter what you are doing, don't stop doing an action inside you: be aware that you are doing it.

You're eating to be aware of yourself.

You're walking, to be aware of yourself

You are listening, talking, to be aware of yourself.

When you are angry, be aware that you are angry, and just as the anger begins, be aware that you are angry.

This constant self-remembering will create a subtle energy in you, and your people will begin to become clear and thorough.

Usually, you are just a baggy bag! There is no real existence, and there is no center, just like a liquid mixed with a lot of things, without any center.

You are one of those people who are constantly moving and fickle, and no one is in charge of their own house.

Awareness can make you the master.

When I say be a master, I don't want you to be a controller; when I say be a master, I mean to be "being"-continuously. No matter what you do or don't do, you must keep one thing in mind: you are.

02

Find the inner center.

This simple feeling of self-I "is" will create a center, a center such as motionless, tranquil center, an inner center of self-control, which is an inner power.

When I say "inner power", I mean real power, which is why the Buddha talks about "conscious people", which is really a flame.

When you begin to perceive and feel the new energy, the new flame, the new life in you, and the new strength and vitality brought about by this new life, many of the things that used to dominate you will melt away directly, and you don't need to wrestle with them.

Because of your weakness, you have to fight with your anger, your greed, your sexual desire.

Anger, greed and sexual desire are not the problem, your weakness is the problem.

When your inner self begins to thrive, you feel your "presence" in your heart, your energy will condense and crystallize at one point, and then a Self will be born, remember, it is yourself, not the ego.

The wrong understanding of yourself becomes the self. you always believe that you have no self, but you always believe that you have, that is, the self, the self is a false self-you are not a self, even though you think you are.

For example, you are driving and you are accelerating until the speed can be dangerous, and at that moment you can't think, you can't think, you can't daydream or fantasize, and that moment is your only moment. just when your life is in danger, you suddenly realize that there is a center inside.

Dangerous activities are attractive only because they sometimes make you feel at the center.

You can't just be dominated by external situations, you have to come from within. So try to be aware of it in every activity of the day.

When you are sitting in a chair, try to be aware of the person who is sitting. Not only should you be aware of the chair, not only the space and the atmosphere around you, but also the person sitting.

Close your eyes and feel yourself. Feel yourself deeply.

The German scholar Eugen Herrigel practiced Zen with a Zen master, where he studied archery for three years. Master always told him, "good, you did well, but it's not enough." When Harrig himself became a master of archery, his accuracy was as high as 100%, but the Master still said to him, "you have done well, but it is not enough."

"my hit rate is already a hundred shots!" Harrig said. "then what do you want me to do? how can I go further? my accuracy has reached full marks. No matter how high expectations are possible."

It is said that the Zen master replied:

"what I care about is not your archery or your accuracy. I care about you. You are already a perfect expert, but the moment the arrow leaves the bow, you are not aware of yourself, so everything is in vain!

I don't care if the arrow hits the heart, I care about you! When the arrow on your bow goes out, your consciousness will follow. It doesn't matter if you don't hit the target, but you can't miss the target inside. You can't do it all the time.

You are a zero-error expert, yes, but you are a copycat. "

However, it is not easy to explain to a Western or modern mind that the modern mind is westernized. Such a mind does not listen to these things, and archery requires a hit rate.

When you are aware of your unconscious, you are already aware of it.

You can be on the surface, which means you live in the unconscious. Watching movies and listening to music make you forget yourself, when you are on the surface. Even if you go to study the scriptures, these things can make you forget yourself and make you live on the surface.

Be careful when doing things. It's a long and arduous journey. It's not easy to stay alert for a second. The mind always intervenes from time to time, but it's not impossible. It's possible. It's possible for everyone.

All you have to do is work hard, do it wholeheartedly, do it unreservedly, dare to explore every corner of your heart, and sacrifice everything to be aware of it. only in this way will the inner flame be discovered by you, and it will be there.

Walking on the street, you can't even maintain your consciousness in a few steps, and you forget yourself again and again. You may start to read the signs on the road, and then you forget yourself. When someone walks past you, you take a look, and then you forget yourself.

Your failures will help. They will let you know how unconscious you are.

When you begin to realize your unconscious, even if only so, you already have some awareness. When a crazy person is aware of his madness, he is already on the road to sanity.
