For example, when I say “This is a book,” it means I have a thought-construct, a conception of this material. That is one kind of attachment. When I describe it as “corrected writing, hard cover, etc.” that is another attachment. You don’t need to memorize all of this teaching. Just remember it’s how we experience things. Darkness is manifested by brightness, and brightness is revealed by darkness. When we look out of this window, we could say we see shadows. Or we could say we see varieties of lightness. The correct view is, we see light and dark, together. Does that make sense? We can feel where we are, where we are. We have some translations of Dogen where he says, “Height is depth.” It means, when we see the height of the moon, we also see the depth of our mind. It’s about how we accept things, all the things that come into our mind. If our mind is small, it’s impossible to accept many things. This is related to trust, the conquering of doubt. Maybe one hundred people say it is impossible for you to achieve enlightenment, because they count how many hindrances you have. But one person believes you are okay. Do you believe the one hundred people, or the one person? Trust is believing, even if a person lies one hundred thousand million times! It’s like Buddha appears and examines your trust by speaking a million lies to you. If you follow his lie, you fail. But when you say, “You cannot fool me by your lie. Even if you change yourself into one thousand different figures, I know who you are,” that is true trust. Of course you struggle with those appearances. If there is no struggle, you are ignoring why Buddha tried to examine you. You find out whether your awakening is real or not. Joshu tells about an old woman who has a little tea house by the roadside, and when people come to ask where is Mr. Joshu’s temple, she always says, “Go straight.” If a monk came from the east or the west, she’d say, “Go straight. Today also, the good monk is going straight.” A monk came to Joshu and told him about her, so Joshu said, “I will go and examine her.” The old woman also told Joshu, “Go straight.” He came back to the monastery and said, “I examined her. She is the imitation of me.” Joshu meant she was like a tape recorder, over and over again, just like himself. I, Kobun, also, always say, “Wherever the light comes from is the future.” The Japanese idea of muki is a very important attitude, meaning to be free from endless argument which goes on forever, like whether we continue to exist after we die. If people believe they will come back seven times, that works. If they believe this is their first life, that also works. More important is something we can really experience: “Who is this who is talking about it?” This Platform Sutra was given to the direct disciples of the Sixth Patriarch, those who remained a very long time, until his death.
