Learning Skills Begins with Cultivating Character & What Is “Zen”

What is Zen









Master: Since we watched the performance in the ** Hall, we should all resolutely move on the path of learning art first. So what are our current rehearsals and performances focusing on? 

**Disciple answered: Feeling.

Master : Yes, what do you think? Is it like the ** lobby? **The performances in the hall are also strong and weak.

**Disciple answers: The feeling of Zen, the feeling of the master.

Master : The feeling of Zen. So what is the feeling of Zen? Is Zen only available here among the masters? 

**Disciple replied: We can follow the master.

Master : I read our interview with European media. Two Zen masters were answering the interview. Others asked us what Zen is. They answered correctly, but their answers were inaccurate. The reporter interviewed our team leader and external relations director and asked them what Zen is, and their answers were not accurate enough.

To be more precise, "Zen" is not the only masters who have Zen in everyone's heart. But why can't everyone prove it? In fact, when everyone has a moment of kindness, a moment of simplicity, and a suspected special response, it is Zen. Actually, you calm down and think about it. When everyone is particularly enchanting and kind, the special feeling in the brain and body is Zen. Zen is not only available to Zen masters. Zen is in everyone’s brain, but we have too many thoughts and cannot achieve it. If we have thoughts, we cannot achieve Zen. This is also the reason why the master uses music to practice and let everyone practice their brains.

In the future, others will ask you what Zen is, and the answer is: First, Zen is in everyone's brain. If you have good thoughts, no thoughts, or a cool feeling, it is your Zen; or if you are engaged in a certain job or career, and you enter a certain state, it is Zen. For example, if our photographer (Zen Master Wule pointed to the photography team of Director Xu in the United States, he would definitely get Zen; when you are performing with love and enter that state, you would definitely get Zen. "Zen" is not only available to someone, but everyone has it.

Remember to answer this in the future. What is Zen? Zen is in everyone's heart. When you have good thoughts and no thoughts, or simply happiness is Zen; when you engage in a certain career, a certain job, or a certain scientific research, and enter a special state, that is Zen. It's just that you can't prove it, you can't control it. And our meditation solves this problem. For example, Master, I can control it, and this state has been realized by me and controlled by me, so I can say that I am a Zen master, and that I have attained enlightenment.  

Everyone has Zen, but you have not attained it. Sometimes you feel this way, but it passes through your brain like a meteor, it runs away, and you can't catch it. If you can attain it and control it at the same time, you become a Zen master, so Zen is not mysterious.

The important historical responsibility of our orchestra performance is to dedicate Zen such as world peace and human friendship to everyone. If you enter this state, (Master jokes: Some people are very confused when they hear this kind of Zen!) Once you have attained this kind of Zen, it must be the two states I just mentioned: one is the feeling you get when you have good thoughts and your mind is quiet, that is Zen; or if you gain a moment of feeling in your work, scientific research, and piano practice, someone told me before that it was very pleasant, but in fact that it was Zen. But he couldn't catch it again after a while, and the Zen he had attained ran away. When these experts who are engaged in scientific research, other work, and photography are very focused, they are Zen. But he did not prove it, control it. Once you have attained it and controlled it, he must be kind, he must be peaceful, he must be friendly. Therefore, Zen is world peace, human friendship, good people, and good things.

After saying this, do you understand? Then how do we practice Zen? Do you know? The leader told me. 

The leader replied: Let go of the skills.

Master: Oh... I tell you that practicing brain is practicing Zen. Have I said this? Simple questions have been complicated by you. Whenever we practice brains, we rehearse, and take you to perform, we are practicing Zen. Using your brain means practicing Zen, using your brain to memorize the score, and comparing with the master means practicing Zen. It’s that simple, don’t make it complicated, do you understand? 

In the future, if you become Zen masters, people will ask you what Zen is. Don’t say things that others cannot understand. If you hear them, you will feel that it has nothing to do with them. Then our Hong Chan will fail. We should tell him that you have Zen in you, which will bring you closer to others, and that's right. Don’t tell people that Zen has no concept, no right or wrong, no good or bad. When others hear that there is no right or wrong, how can they work? How to live in society? Such an answer made him feel that "Zen" has nothing to do with him, which is wrong. You must say that you can get into the world with others, and it is not an explanation of lies, this is Zen. You say something very correct, but you have nothing to do with others. It is equivalent to saying it in vain, that is not Zen.

I came to rehearse today. After watching the performance in the ** Hall, I felt a lot of emotion. I want to tell you that we are walking the right path. When watching their performance, we were asked to be more than 30 euros, and many people were sleeping soundly, and the Chinese were sleeping, which shows that they were not attractive at all. This is the fundamental reason for the decline of the symphony. So we repeatedly emphasize that we must use our brains and express our Zen. Look at how many people are so sleepy in the ** hall? Let’s see who can read the phone at night and see the Zen meaning?

Amitabha!
