We hate to make mistakes and will do anything not to. Constantly trying to correct ourselves and the world we live in, there is no end to it. Once one mistake has been corrected another one seems to pop up. Even after expending a great deal of effort, and despite success along the way, in the end many feel dissatisfied, as though something went wrong and they made a mistake. What we do not realize is that the mistake we make that is continuous, is not what we do, but the way we perceive and receive life. We grasp onto that which is fleeting and must go. We believe that whatever arises is up to us to correct. We do not see what is illusion and what is real. Zen practice returns us to simple reality and to a life that is satisfying and compassionate  no matter what appears.
