Reflect Deeply About Impermanence

Zen says to reflect deeply, look deeply. Don't just understand the ideas. Reflect deeply. And that's what he means. I think it means to live that teaching, to see that teaching around you. To understand, really understand, for instance, impermanence is to feel it deply. More than just thinking about it as a concept, or even as an emotion. In our practice, it seems to me, we somehow grow in this kind of understanding overtime. Sometimes decades go by and we think we understand something, but it turns out we didn't,. Or sometimes we think we don't understand something when we really do.
