When you expect ice cream, and it turns out to be no ice cream, it's a crushing. Mind makes everything. We give meaning to what is meaningless, we miss the actual meaning when there is one. Sometimes we might get it right, but when we don't, it's devastating. Unless, that is, we realize that our expectation of ice cream and all that entails is a complete fabrication. Want ice cream? Go eat an ice cream! Jonson Sunmin Miller gives the Dharma talk at One Mind Zen January 4, 2023.
