Zen in Christ
Mathew 7:7-8 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Zen is everywhere; it appears absent because no one is attentive. If one looks deeply, he will take notice. Zen is to act because life is full of action. Prayer doesn't end in prayer because action is needed. Ask, seek, and knock—all are verbs, and all are actions. Why knock? The door might be open, but that doesn't mean you are welcome. Knock as a courtesy, like in opportunities, with people, and in any situation.
Knock, knock, and knock means try, try, and try. Heaven might be open, but that doesn't mean you are welcome. Not all doors are meant for us.
11 "If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him?"
Ask God, and he will provide, not in the literal sense. God is the drive within you, ask yourself first, asking is an act.
13 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many."
14 "How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few."
Look deeply, just look, describe the scenery, detach from that description, and look again.
I may not find Zen; I may not feel it. As long as I am longing for it, I am moving.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves."
One might read it, could you please drop it? I, myself didn't know if I was on track.
I merely know that Christ is not the enemy of Buddha; he cannot hate himself. To be a Buddha is to be a lumineer, to be ascended. Christ, Buddha, and other eminent thinkers are a reflection of man's pursuit of ascension. Christ is long awake; can I?
