Joshu Mu - Transcending Duality

His "MU" was a blow aimed at breaking or untying the attachment even at the teaching itself; the essence is non-attachment. All human troubles and sufferings, without exception, are due to attachment. Even attachment to the idea of non-attachment is the attachment. It transcends the relative world and gains the free and independent world of satori.

Our life is always attached to the relative: the "is" and the "is not," "good" and "bad," "right" and "wrong". But life itself constantly changing: the condition of society changes, right and wrong changes. Every situation is different according to the time and place. Static concepts are not appropriate to life, but the concepts like faith, hope, and love are; because they grow and evolve.

Mother

She carried you and sustained you, sharing her sustenance with you through your umbilical cord. When you are born the cord is severed. It is never severed in her heart. That bond lasts forever. As we grow up we become our own people and may come to forget that woman who nurtured and loved us. But remember this, she will never forget you and never stop loving you.
