Getting To Know Our True Self

This week we are introducing a core idea of Zen in a very thoughtful, almost philosophical way. We will break it down simply so it’s easier to grasp.

Why do we live the way we do? Who is behind it?

Most people, fall into two groups:

• Those who never question life → they stay busy, work, and eventually die without reflecting.
• Those who question too much → they get stuck in doubt and can’t function well.

Zen is pointing toward a middle way—not ignoring life, but also not getting lost in endless thinking.

🧠 Big shift in thinking

In the past, people might have said:

• “Everything is God’s will.”

But now, people tend to think:

• “We create our own lives.”
• “Even ideas like gods or Buddhas come from our minds.”

Don’t argue which is right. Instead, Put that debate aside and look at yourself directly.
