His, Dogen's, Fukanzazengi, says > Think of not-thinking. How do you think of not-thinking? Be before > thinking. These are the basics of zazen. I haven't, I think, been formally taught zazen. But how does this sound, as a paraphrase: - think of thinking which is no longer thought Because, taken literally, I feel that it is a very good way of looking at our relationship to history, when we cannot do anything about it.
