There was a Zen saying, but this is not exact - something like:
Since enlightenment happens by accident, Zen practice makes you accident prone.
The real issue is that to see there is no self, isn't something you can really do. Because there is no self there doing anything. But still there is doing going on. |
I like your Zen quote. In order to experience "no self" . . . it helps to quiet the mind through meditation.
