Po-chang anali m'modzi mwa akatswiri akuluakulu a Zen m'zaka za zana la XNUMX. Kutchuka kwake kunali kotero kuti ambiri adabwera ku nyumba ya amonke kuti atsatire njira yowunikira, kotero adakakamizika kutsegula nyumba yachiwiri ya amonke. Koma choyamba anafunika kupeza mbuye woyenera, choncho anakonza zoyesa zooneka ngati zosavuta kuti amupeze.
Anasonkhanitsa amonkewo n’kuika mtsuko patsogolo pawo. Kenako anati: "popanda kuyitcha mbiya, ndiuze chomwe chiri".
Mkuluyo anayankha kuti: "Simunganene kuti ndi mtengo."
Pamene amonke enawo anali kusinkhasinkha yankho lawo, wophika ku nyumba ya amonkeyo anakankha mtsukowo ndi kuyamba ntchito yake. Po-chang anam'patsa udindo woyang'anira nyumba ya amonke.
Nkhaniyi ili mu mawonekedwe a koan imatiphunzitsa kuthana ndi nkhawa zomwe zimatigwira ndipo nthawi zambiri zimatha kuwononga kwambiri kuposa zomwe zidayambitsa. Tikawapatsa mphamvu, nkhawa zimafalikira, zimasokoneza malingaliro athu onse. Zimakula ngati mitambo yakuda ndipo zimatilepheretsa kupeza njira yothetsera vutoli, ndikuchotsa zathu mtendere wamumtima.
Pamene tikudandaula kwambiri, m'pamenenso timachoka pa yankho
Tikamawerenga koma kusokonezedwa, timalephera kumvetsa tanthauzo lake. Kenako timadziuza kuti: "Ndiyenera kukhazikika". Pa nthawi yeniyeniyo timalowa mu chikhalidwe cha hypervigilance. Ndiko kuti, malingaliro amayamba kuyang'anira ntchito yake kuti asasokere. Koma mwanjira imeneyi sitingathe ngakhale kuika maganizo pa mawu chifukwa maganizo ali otanganidwa kuchita monga mlonda wawo.
Njira yofananira imachitika ndi nkhawa. Chinthu choipa chikachitika, timayamba kuganizira. Iwo yambitsa ndi kuganiza koopsa. Nkhawa imodzi imayitanitsa ina. Timalingalira tsoka ndiyeno loipa kwambiri, mpaka kufika poti timangodzilekanitsa ndi zenizeni.
Kudandaula mu loop kumatichititsa khungu. Zimabweretsa kusapeza bwino ndipo sizitithandiza kuthetsa vuto lenileni. Ndipotu, kuyankhulana m'maganizo kumeneko kumangowonjezera chisokonezo, kutipangitsa kuti nthawi zonse tibwerere kumalo omwewo popanda kupita kulikonse. Popanda kuthetsa kalikonse.
Mu filosofi ya Zen pali njira yoletsera malingaliro osathawa ndikupewa kugwidwa ndi mphamvu yake yapakati: kuyesa. Mawu kuyesa amachokera ku Sanskrit ndipo kwenikweni amatanthauza "chomwe chimakulolani kuti mukwaniritse cholinga". Choncho, likhoza kumasuliridwa kuti "njira" zomwe zimatithandiza kukwaniritsa zolinga zathu.
Njira kuyesa ndi zophweka chifukwa zikuphatikizapo kuloza mwachindunji zomwe tikufuna kuthetsa bwalo loipa la nkhawa ndi kuika maganizo athu pa zomwe tiyenera kuchita. Mphamvu yake ndikuti imatilola kuti tibwerere ku zenizeni nthawi yomweyo.
Choncho, m'malo mongowononga mphamvu mopanda chifukwa chodandaula, tiyeni tisunthire kuyesetsa kwathu kuti tipeze yankho. M'malo mwake, yankho la wophika wa nyumba ya amonke silinatengeke chifukwa chopupuluma koma ndi chidziwitso chozama chomwe chimachokera ku luntha lachidziwitso, koma chomwe nthawi zambiri sitimamvetsera chifukwa cha kuganiza kwathu.
Upaya, lingaliro la zen kuti muwone bwino
Amati T'ung-shan, mbuye wina wamkulu wa Zen, adafunsidwa kamodzi, "Buda ndi chiyani?" Kumeneko anayankha: "makilo atatu a fulakesi".
Izi zingawoneke ngati yankho lopanda nzeru. Ndipo izo ziri. Koma cholinga chake ndi kulepheretsa kuyesera kulikonse. Pewani ganizo kuti lisasokonezeke lokha ndikutayika m'malingaliro ndi nkhawa.
Ichi ndichifukwa chake ambuye akulu a Zen amalankhula pang'ono ndipo amakonda kukumana ndi ophunzira awo ndi zenizeni. Chowonadi ichi chimatchedwa tenga ndikuwonetsa "kukhala wotero", popanda zilembo zamawu zomwe zingayambitse chisokonezo.
Njira kuyesa ali ndi cholinga chofanana: kuwongolera maganizo athu ku zomwe tifunikira kuthetsa. Zimatilola kuti tituluke muzodetsa nkhawa kuti tibwerere ku zenizeni. Imatsegulira njira ya nzeru zodziwikiratu, zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakhala chete koma zimatithandizira kuwona bwino zomwe zikuchitika komanso njira yomwe tikuyenera kutsatira.
Zowonadi, tikatha kuwona zinthu momwe zilili, popanda zigawo zatanthauzo zomwe timaziwonjezera - zowona za zomwe tikuyembekezera, mantha, zikhulupiriro… - timazindikira kuti "Palibe chabwino, palibe choipa, palibe chachitali kapena chachifupi, palibe kanthu ndipo palibe cholinga," monga Alan Watts adanena.
Njira kuyesa osati kutibweretsanso ku zenizeni, koma amachotsa zochitika za zolemba zoipa zomwe zimabweretsa nkhawa. Ichi ndichifukwa chake zimatithandiza kutsegula malingaliro athu ndikuyang'ana mayankho a 360-degree.
Njira yosavuta kwambiri yoyambira kuchita njirayi kuyesa ndipo kuphunzitsa maganizo ndiko kuloza ku chinthu chirichonse cha mumsewu pamene ife takhazikika mu nkhawa zathu za tsiku ndi tsiku. Tikhoza kuima ndi kuloza, mwachitsanzo, mtengo. Koma m’malo mongolingalira za makhalidwe ake mwa kulitcha “phulusa,” “wamkulu,” “wamasamba,” kapena “wokongola,” timangofunikira kuuwona mtengowo, mmene uliri. Zindikirani mtundu wake, mmene umawalitsira kuwala, kapena maonekedwe a nthambi zake.
Zitha kuwoneka ngati zolimbitsa thupi zosavuta, koma ndizovuta kwambiri kwa malingaliro omwe adazolowera kulemba chilichonse. Komabe, pamene timagwiritsa ntchito zilembo zambiri, timataya chuma chochuluka. Zolemba zimatilola kuyenda mwachangu, koma mbali imodzi yokha. Njira kuyesa imayang'aniranso chidwi chapano, popanda chiweruzo, kuchoka pamalingaliro athu ozungulira, ndipo koposa zonse, zilembo zochepetsera.
Kotero nthawi ina pamene chinachake chikukudetsani nkhawa kwambiri, koma mukuwona kuti nkhawazo zikukufikitsani ku mapeto a imfa, kuonjezera kupsinjika maganizo, kungoyang'ananso chidwi chanu ku vuto lenileni. Samalani apa ndi pano. Lolani luntha lanu lachidziwitso lilankhule. Mwinamwake kudzakhala kosavuta kwa inu kupeza yankho.
