#platform/youtube #channel/Master-YongHua #playlist/dharma-seeds  Chan fundamentally is a process where you steal yourself, don't move physically, so that your mind has more time to look at yourselves. In particular, all those negative things that pop up in your mind constantly. And you know why? Why is a special emphasis on negative thoughts appear, pop up in your mind like thoughts of anger, thoughts of impatience, thoughts of disapproval, because they are unpleasant and you don't like it. Who likes thoughts of disapproving? Who likes thoughts of anger? No one. It bothers you. And ordinary people says, "I'm angry because of his her fault, of his fault." That's what ordinary people do. In Chan, when these unpleasant thoughts, we don't blame others. We look at ourselves. We said, "Ah, this is my fault. I choose to be angry. I choose to be greedy. I choose to be negative. No one asked me to be negative. No one asked me to be impatient. No one asked me to be mean. And that's why I'm unhappy, because I choose to be mean. I choose to be greedy. I choose to be angry. My son is innocent. He's just being himself, a boy. And yet, I'm impatient towards him because he doesn't do what I want him to do. Is this his fault? No, it's my fault because I choose to blame him for being himself.
