Concentration is of course the awesome power tool for handling that but shikantaza gets there eventually too.
The terms I’ve heard for that are “getting still”, “getting silent” and “getting peaceful”. I haven’t come up with a better one.
Shikantaza is just such a wondrous scifi revolution. It’s GENTLE.
Consider that in concentration you withdraw your awareness from the world. A shrinking. This is a blindness. And action taken while blind is … well you get the idea.
But Shikantaza is an expanding illumination. The invisible becomes visible. It’s a superior high too.
And that’s just babble of course and I don’t expect you to agree with me about their comparative virtues.
I know what you mean by noise.
