Abstract
This essay reconceives Emily Dickinson’s no-self as non-holding, concentration, and casualness, a strand of thoughts that echo Daoism and Chan Buddhism. Dickinson espouses to cease the impulse to hold thing, which culminates at letting go. Such a purifying procedure enables one to cultivate a pure energy, to concentrate upon a significant action and thus fulfills it effortlessly, a casual process that is characterized by the absence of calculation or intention. The essay also investigates Dickinson’s engagement with Emerson in exploring spiritual ideals, advocating an approach that combines Emerson and Chinese philosophies to sufficiently understand Dickinson.
