Zen Is Not Achieved by Mirror Wiping Meditation, but by Self Forgetfulness

1. The invention of an empirical self that observes itself
2. Viewing one's thoughts as a kind of object or possession, situating it in a separate, isolated part of itself – I "have" a mind
3. The striving to wipe the mirror

These three faults are the mistakes and obstacles that we make in our seeking for consciousness.

Fault 1 is about ego-consciousness and our identification with our egos and our intelligence.

Fault 2 is about giving too much power to our thoughts and our cleverness.

Fault 3 is about believing we can attain enlightenment through outwitting reality and possessing an empty mind.

Join Shannon and Sharon as they discuss the Three Faults, and how they affect our journey towards enlightenment.
