Without knowing that it was adding, I have been living only adding to my mind. There are too many pictures in the album of mind that is accumulated in the mind. No one told me to carry it, but I just bore these burdens of my own doing and it caused my shoulders and back to hurt.
I met the meditation that is the subtraction of the mind. It was unfamiliar. It was not easy to let go of these memories, which were like precious treasures, these minds that I had kept hidden for a long time.
I didn’t know why I was clutching on even though these difficult minds made me sick… They seem to have been my attachments. It was painful for me to pull out these things that had been tangled up in me for so long. It hurt and I couldn’t concentrate so initially I wasn’t able to make progress. But with the help of the repeated meditation practice and the helpers, I began to release. And as I am relieved of those heavy burdens, my body and mind feel so light. I am grateful for the method that allows one to subtract out the minds.
- What I felt: I am deeply grateful that I was able to reflect on myself through repeated practice of the meditation.
- Changed points and benefits: An addict who had been addicted to adding minds, felt interested in subtracting out the mind and became focused. A person who had taken negative pictures in his mind is now discarding these ‘mind pictures’ and at any moment, recognizes that he is taking another negative mind picture and immediately discards it.
- Commitment: I am trying to be a person who immediately throws away my problems every moment and throws away myself who is a bundle of pride.
- I am grateful to the teachers who really helped a lacking person like me.
