The speaker discusses the concept of "not thinking" in Buddhism and how it differs from the Western idea of not thinking. Not thinking in Buddhism refers to a state of spontaneity and stream of consciousness without conscious direction. It is different from mindfulness. In Zen meditation, one can reach a profound state of non-thinking, where they are just present without being dependent on senses. This idea is difficult to convey in the West, where we are always thinking and easily influenced by distractions. It is a profound and complex idea that can be achieved through Buddhist practices.
Yes, I know, and your penchant for the tangential is, as always, breathtaking.
