Protecting the One

DateFriday, October 26, 2007 at 6:42AM

"In Chinese the sentence 'Better to unify the mind' can be translated as 'Guard the One'. What is this one? The mind can be split up, discriminating, filled with illusory intellectualizing. The mind needs to be focused, brought to a single point. Guarding the one means bringing the mind to this single place, and that is done through the method of practice (Zen Meditation)."
