Find Our Human Job

So we have to find our human job and just do it. How? Again, we make our direction clear: not for me. So simple and yet seemingly so difficult. An immediate conflict seems to arise. Because we make I-my-me, we love ourselves above all else. No teaching, no dharma, no teacher can resolve this conflict, this kong-an, for us. We have to look within ourselves in a sustained way, ten thousand years nonstop, to see the truth of our lives. Then, we make ours what had been an article of faith, that all beings partake of original nature but simply have not seen it. Then, living our correct situation, correct relationship, and correct function is possible. The name for that is the great bodhisattva way.
