Zen has been solved, why are you still down in the dumps?

You say you aren't aware, you keep losing awareness - but who was aware of this?

Awareness is unconditional and ever-present, but when you get drawn into doubt, it obscures your ability to see it.

But could you be lost in doubt to begin with, if you were not aware? How would you see the doubt? You'd have blacked out.

So awareness cannot be inhibited, you can only obscure the fact that it is already there, by interfering with the thoughts that come along.

Trust your awareness once and for all, and you will never obscure it. Whether flying in rage, doom scrolling on your phone, or sitting in perfect meditation, you'll be perfectly aware at all times.

Then, one day that awareness will come to realize itself, and after that, you can't obscure it anymore even if you want to, then you are called a wayfarer and your doubts are cleared.


You call on thoughts all the time because you don't trust yourself.

But all they do is lead you away from the marvellously illuminating Buddha Mind you had from the very beginning.

Why don't you try trusting yourself for once?
