Eno died in August 713. But before he did, he gave his final teaching.
He said " If you want to realize true nature, you cannot set aside what it is to be a human being."
Bankei said " You don't need complex words or explanations, only the phrase, Unborn mind. If we can realise this Unborn mind, the mind that is in each and every person without any defining characteristics, our true nature without any obstruction, then wisdom will come forth. "
T. O. M's comment
What is the experience of being human?
To experience happiness, sadness, love and hate, desires and aversion..
Bankeis Unborn mind or Huenings essence of mind, can I bring that with me, and remember that, in the midst of desire and aversion, or in the midst of any phenomena..
Is the zen experience to be fully in touch with the essence of mind, within the midst of human life?
Peace.
