もし瞑想で問題を解決しようとするなら、それは瞑想の本来の考え方ではない。そこには「こうなってほしい」という期待があるからだ。心の静寂さや、良い三昧などの体験を求めるのも同様に誤っている。私たちがしようとしているのは気づいている事、ただそれだけだ。

Replying to @TPatbat
"A melancholy autumn wind
Blows through the world;
The pampas grass waves,
As we drift to the moor,
Drift to the sea.
What can be done
With the mind of a man..."

The mind of the Sage is undifferentiated Natural Principle (tianli 天理). Though he may dwell in the utmost hardship, there is nowhere that joy is not present. He regards wealth and honor gained without rightness as floating clouds that have no substance, and remains unconcerned, with nothing stirred within his mind. (Zhu Xi : Lunyu 7.15)
聖人之心,渾然天理,雖處困極,而樂亦無不在焉。其視不義之富貴,如浮雲之無有,漠然無所動於其中也。
