Shujinko 主人公 : True Self

In zen teaching, shujinko means “true self.” So how can we find our “true self”?

無想 Muso:  Don’t think anything, get rid of all thoughts

無念 Munen: Let go of desires,  don’t get distracted by the stimulus from the outside world 

無住 Muju: Let go of your attachment to material things

What remains is the “true self.” Zazen is the practice to help remove these noises and find “true self.”
