Il castoro, la tartaruga e lo specchio immacolato<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Quando finalmente la meditazione \u00e8 avvenuta (Una storia Zen)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Questa \u00e8 una versione moderna di una vecchia storia classica Zen, quella di \u201clucidare una tegola\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La storia originale mostra il maestro Nanyue che trova il suo discepolo Mazu seduto in profonda meditazione per diventare un Buddha. Quando Mazu spiega il suo obiettivo, Nanyue prende una tegola e la strofina su una roccia. Mazu chiede il perch\u00e9, e Nanyue risponde: \u201cSto lucidando uno specchio\u201d.\u201d

Mazu chiede come una tegola possa diventare uno specchio, e Nanyue risponde: \u201cCome pu\u00f2 la pratica dello zazen farti diventare un Buddha?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questa storia spiega perch\u00e9 a volte i maestri Zen parlano di \u201clucidare le tegole\u201d nella pratica della meditazione.
Significa che la mente condizionata sta ancora facendo qualcosa che \u201cpensa\u201d sia meditazione.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
