When Priest Yaoshan was sitting in meditation1 a monk asked, “What do you think about, sitting in steadfast composure?” Yaoshan said, “I think not thinking.” The monk said, “How do you think not thinking?” Yaoshan said, “Non-thinking.” - Dogen’s 300 Koan Shobogenzo, Case 129: “Yoashan’s Non-Thinking”

"All that I am ever experiencing (thoughts, memories, sensations and places) are activities within consciousness. Consciousness itself is not an experience but without consciousness, no experience can be possible."

All You Can do is Drop Your Mind - Osho

All You Can do is Drop Your Mind – Osho

Maneesha, the way of Zen requires certain conditions to be fulfilled. They are not the conditions that other religions require; they are the conditions of receptivity, of awareness, of listening, of an understanding of the wordless, a deep penetration into silence. No other religion asks you these things. They want you to be virtuous, to be moral, not to indulge in adultery. Their requirements…

Impermanence, No-mind, Nirvana. Impermanence means nothing lasts, no phenomenon is substantial or lasting. All phenomena is temporal and interdependent which means one thing needs all of the others to exist. Since nothing has any real, lasting, separate reality there can be no mind or ego, as those are also temporal and have no permanent, separate, substance to them. Nirvana is understanding that what we are is consciousness, pure awareness, the only real, eternal, undying, unborn, permanent presence, utterly transcendent of phenomena. The ego is merely a collection of thought patterns and ideas or notions collected up over a certain period of "time" and then misidentified with. Time being only another "human-created" notion or concept based on yet another notion that because of memory, we must be moving linearly from some point (past) towards another point (future) and this is false. There is only now and here, the only "time" we ever have, the only "place" we ever are. If we understand that anything perceived or witnessed or experienced is phenomena and cannot be the witness since the witness or consciousness is always beyond what's being witnessed or experienced, we realize that the ego is also phenomena and witnessable and cannot be the real self or source which is consciousness. This is, as Osho stated, the easiest and the only way to let go of or dissolve the ego. The very understanding is transcendence. Reality is free of any and all notions or concepts, such as "name", "form", or "time". It is beyond definition or categorization. This is why we call it no-thing. A thing, for instance, a pencil, has a name, because we've given it one, and as such has been given definition and limitation and is perceived as separate or as having it's own authentic, real, existence separate and apart from Reality or Consciousness, which is also false. When this is understood one "reaches" home and existence becomes a celebration. The empty mirror reflecting no-thing. When the ego is dropped, "others", the "world", and all other concepts drop with it. Here is Eternal Presence abiding forever in the infinite mysteriousness of no-thing. Now is no-thing abiding forever in the infinite mysteriousness of Eternal Presence.

With no-mind, blossoms invite the butterfly; With no-mind the butterfly visits the blossoms. When the flower blooms, the butterfly comes; When the butterfly comes, the flower blooms.

“Fall in love with being loving. Surrender to the act of divine surrendering. Life is our eternal guru (teacher). Practicing mindfulness in our daily life reminds us to be fully accept whatever is arising in the moment (without any judgment). When we turn our attention inward we allow life to unfold as it is. We must trust in the understanding that ‘life always takes care of life’.”
