Walking slowly along the #bush path, each step meets the earth, neither separate nor apart. Fingers trace rough bark, pause on a leaf’s cool surface, sensing its firmness. In tactile consciousness (身識 Shinshiki), there is no ‘self’ touching, no tree being touched — only contact, only sensation. The branch yields, yet in yielding, it is not other. No boundaries exist, only the realisation of #oneness with #Nature, the deep #interconnectedness where skin, leaf, earth, & air are simply this moment.

#Mukyōhō, (‘No Boundaries Way’), is a school of #ZenBuddhism. It rejects traditional hierarchies, lineages, & formal ranks, seeing them as human constructs that hinder #enlightenment. #Mukyōhō teaches that #enlightenment isn’t attained through rituals or wearing robes but through direct experience of #Nature. #Nakedness is central, symbolising #equality & #oneness with existence, rejecting #societal constructs that create separation.
