"Zen has no road." Quote by Zen Master Seung Sahn. #zen #meditation #nopath #trueself #direct #buddha #moment #complete #zmseungsahn #kwanumzen
Here is a cup of orange juice. If you have "cup," then you can keep this orange juice here. But if this cup breaks, how can the orange juice remain? You cannot keep the juice there, yah? Suffering is the same as that. Where does suffering abide? If you are attached to the five skandhas of form, feelings, perceptions, impulses, or consciousness, then suffering has a place to stay. But the Heart Sutra shows the view that these five skandhas are empty. Mind is completely empty: where can suffering possibly stay? So this teaching about emptiness is very, very important to attain. When you practice the way of the perfection of wisdom, you attain that all five skandhas are actually empty. Attaining this view saves us from all suffering and distress. Merely understanding these views cannot help you — you must attain something. —Zen Master Seung Sahn #zen #suffering #skandhas #feelings #perceptions #consciousness #heartsutra #emptiness #wisdom #attainment #zmseungsahn #kwanumzen

"When you really face the fact that there is nowhere to go and no choice, then you enter your situation completely." Quote by Zen Master Wu Kwang. #zen #moment #nochoice #simplicity #clear #compassion #kwanumzen
We have this idea and it’s part of our culture, has been created in this culture. That is “if we practice properly we can get this state of mind that is fixed and stable and is just the way we like it." That’s like finding a cloud in the sky and saying “that’s my cloud, it will never change." It doesn’t work that way. Buddhism is not about attaining some state of mind. Buddhism is about being clear about the mind that you have. Whatever it is in each moment. If you are feeling irritated, be clear about that. If you are having a good experience, be clear about that. Don’t be deceived. See what is actually happening in the moment. Then you can use your life to make a difference in this world. —Barry Briggs JDPSN #zen #buddhism #mind #clear #impermanence #kwanumzen
