Experience No-Self

Dennis Genpo Merzel, Roshi

Look into your own mind, the source from which thoughts arise. What hears the sounds? Look and you find only empty nothing. And yet, something’s hearing, something’s seeing, something’s experiencing pain. What is it? It can’t be anything but yourself, your true self.

But somehow we can’t accept this. We continually go on looking and seeking. Only convince yourself to stop seeking. Once and for all, convince yourself there is nothing to seek, nothing to attain, and then just sit, nothing left to do, nothing left to search for.
