Re: Wall Gazing

and so who are you, after all?
I am part of the power which forever wills evil and
forever works good.

Re: Wall Gazing
What I like about Zen is that everything can be summed up in its entirety precisely by saying nothing at all.


“Nothing holy, just vast empty space!”
Re: Wall Gazing
When I started practicing zazen about two and a half years ago, I started with wall gazing right away. It felt like such a cool idea and I didn't have a teacher to tell me 'no, you can't do it'. I don't have elaborate philosophical reasons for this particular form of practice, I just practice it.
Re: Wall Gazing
According to the Tibetan translation of Bodhidharma's account, the Chinese term "facing a wall" is translated as "Facing reality."
Buddhahood in This Life
འ༔ ཨ༔ ཧ༔ ཤ༔ ས༔ མ༔
[A]nything at all that is well spoken is the word of the Buddha.
-- Ārya-adhyāśaya-sañcodana-nāma-mahāyāna-sūtra
The different sūtras in accord with the emptiness
taught by the Sugata are definitive in meaning;
One can understand that all of those Dharmas in
which a sentient being, individual, or person are taught are provisional in meaning.
-- Samadhirāja Sūtra

Re: Wall Gazing
Malcolm; I remember you sharing the Tibetan translation of “facing a wall” (“facing reality”) many years ago and it’s stuck with me. Thank you.
