<p>And my Doing is not a fixed practice.</p>
<p>It can be even cutting lemons or twisting a wire to make figures or make small electronic circuit etc &#8212;&#8212;.</p>
<p><strong>In fact it can be any activity in the daily life,  like somebody&#8217;s daily job.</strong></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- The reason is obvious,  (1)  It is not an activity intentionally designed on purpose.  As it is a part of</p>
<p>daily life and carries no special meaning or pretence, such as  &#8221; This is the Special noble practice for the</p>
<p>Higher Spiritual Achievement&#8221;, it is<strong> natura</strong>l.   This is the<strong> Jinen</strong>.</p>
<p>(2)  Basically I&#8217;m a humble mean person.  I can&#8217;t afford to spend a  time for such a special exotic activity.</p>
<p>If ordinary activity can serve the same purpose,  why not do them.  It would save the time and energy.</p>
<p>Most important point is, the Buddhism is a way of the life.  It wouldn&#8217;t work like to buy a piece of Indulgence</p>
<p>and sit as a formality.  Buddhism  needs to go down all the corner of one&#8217;s life.  This is the<strong> Ichijo</strong> in total.</p>
<p>The matter is to live the life in  <strong>Mushin</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- So, as one of the by-product,  I got nicely twisted wire as well &#8212;&#8212;- How nice  Ha Ha Ha   😀</p>
<p>( I don&#8217;t think so many people in the world, found an interest of twisting the wire.   Its mean, this is a very</p>
<p>peculiar activity specifically occurred only on my Karma,  therefore this is a part of  Yoshizen.  Ha Ha Ha  😀  )</p>
<p>Since,  it was the task, I only had to do  (on that moment), I only doing it,  nothing else, therefore I didn&#8217;t need</p>
<p>to specially concentrate for  &#8220;Mind-fulness&#8221;  kind, as there was nothing else to think about anyway.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Almost synonym of the (misconceived) Buddhism, &#8220;Meditation&#8221;, &#8220;Mind-fullness&#8221;, &#8220;Selfless&#8221; are all too</p>
<p>prominent though, they are bore out of the unnatural pretenceful activity.</p>
<p>Because of it is a peculiar exotic practice, the person has to fight to concentrate to get mind-fullness and</p>
<p>while (utterly contradictively) hustle to get selflessness.  (If a man has to wear Mini-Skirt he can&#8217;t be calm.  🙂 )</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>But if you do the activity which you can abandon yourself,  you automatically start to do fully minded</p>
<p>without any conscious of self.  In this way, <strong>anybody, in any activity, they can reach to the Mushin</strong>.</p>
<p>This is the Mahayana Buddhism.</p>
<p>Door is open to anybody,  not only to the professional monk whose task (and the mean of earning money)</p>
<p>is to Perform and Demonstrate &#8220;Buddhism&#8221;&#8212;&#8212; in other words, other than a monk, most of the people</p>
<p>don&#8217;t need to demonstrate and perform it.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Though,  to do the things which is not your choice,  even a kind of task you hate,</p>
<p>and still able to do it in  Mushin,  needs to have special training to disconnect your  Thinking and  Emotion,</p>
<p>which I have explained before,  &#8221; Starting with absolute obedience and repeat the practice until it</p>
<p>reaches to the state of  Mental Fatigue&#8212;&#8211;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- And almost legendary  &#8221; <strong>Hyper state of the Brain</strong> &#8221;  could be achieved only through very dangerous</p>
<p>practice and the Visualization.   ( Some Martial Artist can do this.   And the people competing with their</p>
<p>memory power, while memorizing hundreds of cards in order, using this Visualizing skill under</p>
<p>the hyper state of the Brain &#8212;&#8212;- but don&#8217;t ask me about it)</p>
<p>Though,  in my view from my experiences,  I&#8217;m not necessary agree with those special  Mind Engineering is</p>
<p>in the scope of the Buddhism.   Those highly specialized  Mind Engineering  was a discovery of the</p>
<p>professional monk though it is necessary to born with particular genetic condition.</p>
