7 Things You Should Always Keep Private | Zen master story

7 things you should always keep private
In a peaceful village among the hills, the wise Master Koji shared profound teachings with a young disciple named Hiro. The teacher revealed seven aspects of life that should be kept private. Hiro understood the importance of preserving purity and sincerity in his actions and thoughts, and committed to following these principles in his journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. With gratitude and determination, he bid farewell to Master Koji, carrying with him the wisdom that would illuminate his path to inner peace and authenticity.

While I am all about seeking wisdom and inner peace, this video basically can be summed up by saying, "don't talk about yourself". I can certainly appreciate that sometimes (a lot of times) not saying anything goes a long way, but there is also wisdom in sharing your experiences, accomplishments and doubts with people you trust, otherwise you cannot grow as a person. You can certainly learn from other people's accomplishments and failures, otherwise how would we learn anything? Parents, teachers, coaches, all these people utilize what they have learned and experienced and teach others valuable lessons and how to grow. This video should have instead focused on the message about sharing but not bragging.

[@BlinkinFirefly]

I agree. I left a similar comment. Privacy can certainly become toxic if practiced too much, in my humble opinion.

[@jenshark4]

I agree. I have a long time best friend, she’s like a sister to me. We share our success, failures and life experiences with each other. It’s truly great to be able to express ourselves openly without judgement. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I feel like we all need someone in our lives that we can do this with.

[@PeachTristan]

Agree. Communicating your personal goals with those you are close to and trust is important for relationships and to test if your goals are realistic. Your personal goals can have negative or positive effects on people around you and so it is important to be open about them.

I have been practicing not telling anyone anything, complaint wise, for the last two months. And guess what? I will continue this practice for the rest of my days. The three biggest benefits of this has been, 1. More peace, 2. Far less stress. 3. Within days, the things I would have complained about were forgotten.

[@sung-6097]

1. Intentions - seeds of your actions 2. Personal goals - others opinions hinders your progress 3. Charitable deeds - true compassion doesn't need recognition 4. Training in progress - seeking approval and acknowledgement from others will distract you from your goals. 5. Family affairs - respect your family's sanctity 6.wealth and possessions - do not invite unnecessary envy. 7.spiritual experiences - others who are not at the same path may misunderstand your intentions of sharing.

[@maloyo7901]

I have a problem with keeping “family affairs” private. This can be toxic in an abusive family situation. In my experience, abusers insist on “what happens here stays here” because they know they’d be in trouble if what they were doing was known. This is true for emotional, physical, and sexual abusers. Abusers keep it going by playing the “sacred family” card. IMO, this is dangerous advice.

[@shillout]

That was my thought at once too hearing it, and it can also be good to share things outside of the family to get others' perspectives.

[@peaceloveunity3794]

The exception doesn't make the rule.

[@Aaron-Actually-Aaron]

Obviously it is not referring to abuse, how would keeping abuse secret help you?

[@amberackerson5916]

I think what one says to a counselor, therapist, spiritual teacher, healing group, and trusted friend can still be considered maintaining privacy.

[@YesPlease1]

I came here to say exactly this. In the case of abuse, family members have already violated the sanctity of family, so your silence isn't protecting anything special. Personally I think the way to do this might be to share stories but without names. "A family member said this or did that." sort of thing. Remember that toxic people are acting that way because they were mistreated and not loved properly themselves. They're already suffering, you don't need to add to it by turning the public against them. If however crimes were committed then take that up with the relevant authorities. Sharing your stories can be a humbling lesson to abusers. If they didn't want stories shared about their behavior then they should treat you better behind closed doors. It can also open the eyes of other abuse victims to hear your stories and help them navigate their own experiences with toxic people.

[@smc1942]

I wish I had learned these 40+ years ago; when I was in my teens. ALL are TRUE!!! I had to learn the hard way! Often people, even family, will use every word you say aloud against you. The older I get, the less I say to anyone about anything. The old saying, "Silence is golden." is very true! Use it as a shield to protect yourself and your interests.

#3 I love helping people, especially if you can help them in a way that they don't know who helped them or why. Back when I still had money I'd go out to eat and more than once if I saw a family I'd ask the waitress to bring me their bill, but asked her not to say who paid for it. They would always look really confused, but my reasoning was, if I paid for their meals they could afford to go out one more time.

Sharing goals with others can be good because once we say what we want to do out loud, it makes us feel more committed to doing the thing. Also, it is great to bounce ideas off with others.

[@erickd2278]

Privacy is good, but let’s not pretend the judgement of others is always bad. Sometimes they can enlighten us with a perspective we haven’t considered, thus helping us move further with our goals, or reconsidering our intentions. As for spiritual experiences, it’s good to share with those of faith who could also be inspired by our stories. Still I agree with some silence especially with charitable deeds or wealth and possessions. A good practice in humility.

[@thomasgustafsson7962]

I agree but I think one should be mindful of intentions for sharing and to whom. I think in regards to spiritual experiences, it can become a source of food for the ego when you have pride driving you to share that experience. I've done that and have then not cherished those moments and like he said, people have probably misunderstood anyways. If you "level up" with some experiences it can sometimes be more beneficial to point people in the right direction to have their own experiences than to share yours. Some knowledge can only be acquired through experiencing it. For example, I can try my best to describe how a mango tastes to someone who has never tasted it or try to describe a sunset to a blind person but unless they experience it for themselves they won't understand. Hehe a lot of "experience".

[@ananyaprakash8218]

I agree

[@Simon_Jakle__almost_real_name]

I also don't want to walk around with a big delusion supposed to have become suspicious or too sceptic, doubting too much wanting to receive proofs from out of nowhere, "because" as soon as we hardly share anymore, the worlds slowen, letting us slither into egoistic behaviour without noticeing. The human world has too many human (made) problems though, but i just have an attitude to not have to participate with clowns in shame that would have mostly been hindered. Hiding the thoughts or ideas that appear in my head would often be or resemble "(misery) business as usual" but makes us move in circles we "get used to" in a false manner. It depends on the situation, but that was already mentionned. I still wonder why bad people wake up in the morning (since they won't pay off in their dues), even the dev'l won't use them in a yoke on some strange atone(ment) farm.

[@rubyt2023]

Agree, it's about balance. It's not always black OR white there's a middle area. Fortunately I have a good & long time friend who I can do this with who isn't negative. We know each other well enough & she's selfless. I can bounce my thoughts & ideas with her and end of conversation I don't feel like why did I tell her. For charity, there's always anonymous donations 😊. Wishing everyone peace & happiness 🌎🌻

I share all of these things with high discernment. I think it's important to have trustworthy people in your inner circles who can understand your experiences when it's relevant to share them. Also I like to share these things more openly when it's far in the past, because these topics are great for storytelling.

Having "trustworthy" people in your circle indicates you value trust, which is incongruent with the first rule in this video which suggests you should keep your intentions a secret. If everyone kept their true intentions secret - there can be no trust. You'd have to assume everyone was lying about their intentions. Which is why that first rule is immoral because it teaches dishonesty for advantages sake.

If I would kept my family affairs private, I would be dead by now. I developed PTSD, because of the constant trauma my family gave me over the years and that led to a disease, chronic, without any chance of cure. So because I talked about the trauma, I could let go and I am healthy again. Also if you never would let others know what you dream of, you also will never experience support, the most important thing in life is trust! Trust in yourself and in others! You will never find support if you keep things private! You don't need other people for doubts, they are already there. Everyone have them. Support from others help you to gain trust and believe in yourself. Also if people try to destroy your dreams, you learn how to protect yourself and to believe in yourself no matter what. You practise self awareness! Its impossible to live without pain! So its better to trust others and be betrayed, than never trust and never experience support and love!

[@Jesuisfatiguee]

This advice reminds me of a quote. “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt. Not that they are closely related but the idea that we should challenge ourselves to have more meaningful conversations.

I get the point and agree that the logic makes sense. But i do disagree in general: sharing all these helps build connections with people, inspires others and helps them to get through their stuff. You though need to be careful with things compromising yourself. Otherwise if you shared something because you trusted someone and they use it against you, it is about them and not about you anymore.

[@lordsxman]

I disagree with numbers 5 and 7. Some family affairs need to be shared like abuse. If someone is being abused in a family and no one else in the family can stop it, you HAVE to get someone outside the family involved to save lives and minimize trauma. With number 7, sharing spiritual experiences creates community, understanding, and sanity. As opposed to believing you're the only one that's experienced something.

Their sins are worse, and heavier, than there to the Pharisees, because they betrayed God and rebelled against God. Such people are not even worthy to perform service and will receive a heavier punishment, a punishment besides that is eternity. Such people will be punished by punishment of spirit, soul, and body. God will send all those who do all kinds of evil deeds during the judgment to a place infested with evil spirits, and let these evil spirits destroy their fleshly bodies as they please, and their bodies will smell of incense. God casts aside and ignores those who have never been faithful to Christ or never put forth any effort, and He will destroy them all in the change of the age. They will no longer exist on Earth, and will not be able to enter the Kingdom of God. In the end, God will bring into His Kingdom all people whose minds agree with God, the people and the children of God, and also those whom God has ordained to be priests. They will be the result of the purification from the work of God. I have told you all there is to say; you decide which path you choose.)

Those who only receive judgment but can never be purified, that is, those who run away from the midst of the work of judgment, will be hated and rejected by God forever. Their sins were more numerous, and heavier, than those of the Pharisees, because they betrayed God and rebelled against God. Such people who are not even fit to perform service will receive a heavier punishment, a punishment besides that of eternity. GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE ANY TRAITOR who once SHOWED FAITHFULNESS in words but BETRAYED Him AFTERWARDS. Such PEOPLE will be REWARDED THROUGH PUNISHMENT of the SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY. 😪 Is this not the very revelation of God's righteous disposition? Isn't this the PURPOSE of GOD in JUDGING MAN, and REVEALING him? GOD will SEND ALL that DO ALL KINDS of EVIL DEEDS IN the TIME of JUDGMENT to a PLACE INHABITED by EVIL SPIRITS, and ALLOW these EVIL SPIRITS to DESTROY their FLESH as they WISH, and their BODY will smell incense. That is their due reward. 😪🙏😪 GOD WRITE in their RECORDS BOOKS EVERY ONE of the SINS of those UNFAITHFUL and FALSE BELIEVERS, FALSE APOSTLES, and FALSE WORKERS; then, at the RIGHT TIME, He will THROW THEM into the MIDDLE of UNFINE SPIRITS, and ALLOW these UNFINE SPIRITS to DEFINE THEIR WHOLE BODY as they WISH, SO THAT THEY CAN NEVER GET A HUMAN BODY AGAIN and NEVER SEE AGAIN LIGHT FOREVER. ☀️😪😪 Those HYPOCRITES who once SERVED BUT DID NOT STAY FAITHFUL UNTIL the END are COUNTED by GOD among the WICKED and will be PART of their DISORDERLY GROUP; in the LAST, GOD WILL DESTROY them. God sets aside and ignores those who have NEVER been FAITHFUL to CHRIST or NEVER GAVE ANY EFFORT, and He WILL DESTROY THEM ALL at the CHANGE OF THE AGE. They will NEVER EXIST on EARTH, and even more CANNOT ENTER the KINGDOM of GOD. ☀️ Those who have never been faithful to God, but are forced by their circumstances to face Him urgently, are counted among those who serve for His people. ONLY a FEW of THOSE PEOPLE WILL SURVIVE, WHILE MOST WILL DIE along with those WHO PROVIDED the SERVICE that DID NOT MEET the STANDARD. ☀️ In the END, GOD WILL BRING into His KINGDOM ALL PEOPLE WHOSE MINDS are in ACCORDANCE with GOD, the PEOPLE and the CHILDREN of GOD, and ALSO THOSE that GOD APPOINTED to BE PRIESTS. 🙏 They will be the FRUIT of the CLEANSING FROM GOD'S WORK. 💐🙏🙏 As for those who do not belong to any category laid down by God, they will be counted among those NON-BELIEVERS-----and you can surely imagine what will be their fate. ☀️ I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL I HAVE TO SAY; you DECIDE which PATH you will CHOOSE.

Hmm, I think it may be helpful for the message to be more nuanced. For our goals and intentions, while privacy is so important at times and helps us protect our dreams, sharing them with others at times is what we need to keep them alive and strong. The wisdom to know when to keep private and when to share and with who is the wisdom we gain from living.

Not sure what or how I can talk and be relatable to others if I'm supposed to keep the only things I'm legitimately interested in private.

If you study more about the Seven Rules, then the rule about sharing family affairs isn't about preventing people from reaching out for help when they need help. Rather, the rule is about backbiting, a.k.a., telling strangers or even other family members what happens between you & your spouse in the bedroom, for example, or being nice to your mother-in-law but then talking negatively about her to your side of the family whenever she leaves the room (which prevents her from defending herself from your fasle statements & it also causes your side of the family to form negative biases against her). Sharing family affairs with strangers also starts gossip, and we all know how gossip quickly grows AND changes, & before we know it, the entire family has become broken.

Sharing most of these things to various degrees can be a big inspiration to others ( and living in your Truth and being Centered and Grounded does not have to mean boasting or trying to get approval from others …. it is possible to be humble and walk with Inner Peace while also expressing to the world your True and Authentic self ) …. and when you are on the right frequency the Universe has a way of putting certain people or things on our paths that are a part of our healing and purpose. Being quiet and being in Meditation is helpful as well and should be a daily practice. Ultimately though do not be afraid the Shine …. and do not allow anyone to dull your Light. 😌🙏💫🕊

Number one makes no sense unless you are a manipulative person as to have normal human relationships you have to share your intentions sometimes. Two makes no sense as most dreams and goals involve the help and cooperation from those around you. Four makes no sense as many people enjoy learning things like yoga with others. It is silly to say it is an advantage to keep that sort of thing a secret. 🙄 Five is dangerous and is telling partners or children that they must keep quiet about abuse if it is within the family. Seven contradicts the whole list as it says not to share spiritual growth with anyone but the whole f**king list is posted online and stated by someone called a "Zen master". Geez. 🙄😆 The whole list is written from the perspective of a distrustful, paranoid father figure type with covert malignant narcissism. 🙄

I was taking huge amounts of Xanax every night to sleep through the night..and was hoping not to wake up the next morning.. so it was mind blowing when I was suddenly jolted out of sleep at 3 am. All I could do was sob uncontrollably into my husband's back.. it wasn't an "appearance"..more of a presence. I had no words for what happened, still don't really. It caused a huge change of heart... new way of thinking. It ignited something in me, giving me the strength to overcome..
