Hero"syujinnkou"
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
These lines are the beginning verses of "Hero" by Mariah Carey which I have loved very much.
When I first listened to this song,I thought "This is Zen itself!" with a deep impression.
The Hero in this song means not a typical man like a Greek hero, but a true-self existing deep inside of everyone. A Zen word "Syujinkou" also has the same meaning.
I think "What you are" means social-self estimated by other people.
However, anyone may have thought himself powerless and worthless to feel fear and loneliness in this society, you can meet a Hero of true-self deep inside of your heart, when you are alone.
Around 2500 years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha began to sit on the earth alone in India under the bodhi tree and did Zazen,and after 49 days, he finally achieved enlightenment. In the earliest Buddhism teaching "Sutta Nipata", he said, "Wander alone like a rhinoceros".
Therefore, to be in solitude is the condition to reach into your heart. When you reach deeply into your heart, you can break through walls of your mind and original vital energy of oneness with all life would rise up naturally.
Therefore, let's be alone to meet the Hero of true-self.
Only when you are alone in peace, you can create a good relationship with other people to love each other and to trust each other.
Hero in you≫
