After i started reading the book "The gateless gate" I shown the error of my ways of seeking enlightenment. "Yamada Roshi often noted that of those who may had such an initial breakthrough experience, some get side track from the path of awakening, as they idealize that experience, memorize it, and cling to it." From my understanding holding on to these readings and teaching become another form of attachments. So far I have learned to look at everything through the eyes of a child filled with wonder and innocence. Questioning everything and realizing there is also nothing to question. I have not finished the book I am currently on the 6 kensho out of 48 not writing any bbn of my teaching down not trying to remember them just experiencing the knowledge I am obtain through practice of the mind. I was wondering if I should continue my studies or end my journey and just live life for the experience practicing what I already know.
