Zen practice begins with a change of mentality-"beginning", that is, to put aside all obsession and realize the true meaning of the universe with a mindless attitude. This is also the core doctrine of Zen Buddhism, that is, "let go", let go of all thoughts, concepts and obsessions, so as to gain inner compassion and deeply understand the true meaning of the universe.
There are many different explanations for the origin of Zen, but its essence is the same: everything is self-evident, the real universe is unpredictable, and no thinking or concept can be fully grasped. Under this concept, people can let go of themselves, accept the impermanence of the universe, adjust their mentality to "primitive", protect themselves from external interference and return to silence.
The "origin" of Zen can make people let go of themselves, give up their desires, and not pursue external values, but satisfy their hearts, so that they can be more free mentally and live a simple and comfortable life. It helps people to adjust their thoughts and behaviors to a harmonious and quiet state, which is also the core of Zen practice.
