STOP TRYING
“Letting things happen, the action through non-action, the ‘letting go of oneself’ of Meister Eckhart, became the key for me that succeeded in opening the door to the way: One must be able to psychically let things happen”

In an ritual Q&A after an intense Zen retreat in Berkeley, I once asked the abbot, Mel Weitsman:
"Zen master Nanquan said, 'If you try to approach it, you'll miss it.' So what are we to do?"
Mel said: "Don't try so hard."
That was helpful to me. I smiled and I bowed.
And Mel said, "Like *that.*"
