Strong sitting quote by Zen Master Seung Sahn. #zen #kwanumzen

#Repost @kansaszencenter with @get_repost ・・・ Zen Master Dae Bong: In the Bible, Jesus asks, “Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” . That means it’s very easy to see other people’s karma, but difficult to see our own karma. . So the Sixth Ancestor said: “What I see are my own faults. What I do not see is the good and bad of others.” . Most important is to see my karma, control my karma, make my karma disappear, attain my karma, then use my karma correctly. (from a talk in 2015) . . . #meditation #zen #reality #habits #selfcare #selfworth #wisdom #clarity #spirituality #walkyourtalk #retreat #selfrealization #changeyourlife #faith #courage #truth #zenmind #curiosity #beginnersmind photo by Harold Rail

"When practicing alone, practice as if practicing with others." Quote by Zen Master Seung Sahn. #zen #meditation #sangha #togetheraction #zmseungsahn
"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 #meditation #suffering #attainment #heartsutra #mind #emptiness #wisdom #zmseungsahn
"The Zen hall is not the only Zen hall." Quote by Zen Master Man Gong. #zen #meditation #everydayzen #nonstopzen #zeneverywhere #anytimeanywhere
"If you practice long enough, everything will come up, everything needs to come up. It's natural to prefer experiences that are relaxing, still, clear, profound, and these will come. But when your conditioning appears—all your opinions, problems, anger, wants, anxieties—instead of being disturbed or pushing them away, try being open to them, and see if they have something to teach. With time, although you may not get rid of them, you'll see them for what they are, you'll see their insubstantiality, and they'll naturally lose their grip so you're less likely to be pulled around by them."—Paul Majchrzyk JDPSN #zen #meditation #conditioning #anger #desire #anxiety #attachment #freedom (Photo by Jiří Hazlbauer JDPSN.)
