Would there not be a joyful investigation to be carried out around the existence of a parallel between the Grace of God and non-doing, that which we cultivate in Zen?
Wouldn’t they be the two ways of naming a thing on either side of this same reality ?
Grace gives faith of non-doing and non-doing calls for grace.
What is called grace here could also be called Providence.
Non-doing is the intention of the power of emptiness, of That which is always greater. Awakening, grace, or Providence, is the abandonment of our small strategies of action.
Non-doing is a leap of faith.
And grace is a manifestation of emptiness.
Putting it into words provokes identification, the “parochial attitude”.
What is at work deserves at least our withdrawal.
Non-doing also means entering silence. Grace has no need of our putting it into words.
That is good news.

Though the inactivity of Zen strikes me as needing no belief, no concept of grace.
Indeed, is not an exercise of belief or faith « doing something »?
I rather prefer doing nothing to faith, I think.

Do not think….
Grace is beyond grace,
I think.
