Re: Understanding the Teaching
Short version: keep thinking about it/analyzing it, apply it when you remember, repeat.
In essence, there are a couple different kinds of memory. One of those kinds is the memory that you should do something. The more you remember to do it (i.e. put something into practice) and then actually do it, the stronger that memory is going to get. This can be strengthened with reminders - anything from notes to yourself to simply setting aside time to analyze the new understanding.

Re: Understanding the Teaching
Vet and confirm your understanding with a qualified teacher, via zoom, email, etc.(someone like Meido Roshi, whom you are already familiar with: https://www.korinji.org/korinji-rinzai-zen-monastery). Then, follow his guidance to actualize it.master of puppets wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 9:32 pm l have understand the teaching. (New!)

Re: Understanding the Teaching
reiun's advice about vetting and confirming your understanding with an expert (i.e. a qualified teacher) applies here and is important. You don't want to end up pushing yourself in the wrong direction! That can lead to more harm than good.master of puppets wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 10:14 pmThis is one of the best advices l've ever had.Hazel wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 9:56 pm Short version: keep thinking about it/analyzing it, apply it when you remember, repeat.

It's good to have patience, rely on trusted individuals, and never give up!

Zen has nothing to to with understanding
Its about experiencing through the gradual (and sometimes abrupt) ripening through Zazen
