No mind....

The idea of 'wu' or no in Chinese Zen means more than plain 'no'. To say no mind (wuxin), for example, can mean 'true mind', 'unborn mind' or 'unobjectifiable mind', all of which are mind other than related to our thoughts. Such a mind does not arise (birth) nor does it depart (death). We may also say that the basis of our ordinary thoughts is no-thought (wuxin). In itself, no mind is like clear light whereas with the worldly mind no mind has become colors and shapes that we get involved with which then leads to suffering. Real meditation is ekakara. You must focus (kara) to a 'point' (eka) on your troubling mind. Keep doing it. Make it like a laser. The longer the better. As a point-of-mind you are nearer to the no mind. But sadly, as a big production wordly movie mind, you might be in a cliff hanger, a love scene or death scene. They can be trouble for your heart and for your next rebirth.

Blessings,

Asanga
