Reflections from @buddhistdoor about how embracing #uncertainty (during these times that seem increasingly unstable) is not passive or submissive, but when combined with other #Buddhist principles leaves us open to new possibilities to co-create a more-harmonious world.

Considering reality is inherently #impermanent,
accepting uncertainty seems like the only sane way to approach things. #Attachment to certainty causes only #suffering and yet more conflict.

... His primary methods included the diagonal argument and Cantor's Theorem regarding power sets. - And he said ta da! when he was done. I go with #Guru. Guru has crossed the line. Does not recognize anything #impermanent for #reality anymore. Still talks to those hallucinating. Me included.

#Awareness opens the door to seeing reality as it truly is, #impermanent, interconnected, & empty of inherent ‘self.’ It allows us to engage with the world with a #mind that is #free from delusion, #attachment, & #aversion.

#HadakaShizenyoku is a #Zen based practice of #mindful #nudity in #natural settings. By removing clothing, social roles & status dissolve, revealing the #body as ordinary, equal & #impermanent. Earth, wind, sunlight & temperature are met directly, without barrier or performance. Through stillness, walking & simple movement, clarity deepens, humility grows & intimacy with #nature becomes immediate, grounded & free.

#Buddhism reframes the "#HardProblem" of #consciousness by rejecting the mind-matter dichotomy. Rather than treating consciousness as an emergent property or separate substance, #Buddhist #philosophy analyzes it as a contingent process (#viññāṇa) arising through #DependentOrigination. This relational view dissolves the explanatory gap while offering #meditative practices for direct investigation of #awareness's #impermanent, #NonSelf nature.

In the integration of the six, #naturism becomes living #zazen. The senses are neither suppressed nor indulged, they are purified through direct #awareness. The #naked form, exposed to #impermanent #nature, is no longer an object but a vehicle of realisation. To live in this way is to understand that #awakening is not elsewhere, it breathes through every pore, every sound, every flicker of perception. (13/14)

Gustatory consciousness (舌識 zesshiki): Though less central, even taste becomes part of the #naked practice. Eating in #naturist #meditation, the mouth unmediated by etiquette or distraction, reveals the immediacy of sensation. Taste, like breath, belongs to this moment only. It cannot be possessed or repeated. This #awareness nourishes humility, each meal an #impermanent harmony of earth, #body, & time. (6/14)

This is the practice of #NonDual #awareness through sound, realising that all vibrations are fleeting echoes of #impermanent existence. (4/14)

In #Mukyōhō #ZenBuddhism, #naturism & #nudity are not merely physical acts but living expressions of #awakening through the 六識 rokushiki — the six consciousnesses. Each sense becomes a gateway to clarity when the #body is freed from coverings, both material & #mental. In #HadakaShizenyoku, the practice of being #naked in #nature, we gain direct realisation through seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, & thinking, each sense a teacher, each perception #impermanent.

Through this lens, #nudity becomes a koan. It asks: Who is ashamed? Who is proud? Who is separate from what is seen? When no answer remains, only the #naked #body breathing in harmony with wind & light, #Zen reveals itself, silent, #impermanent, whole. (11/11)
