One day, before summer Kyol Che, Ko Bong visited Tong Do Sa Temple. He stood at the gate and shouted, “Somebody come here and cut my hair, please. I want to become a monk.” Many monks were angered by his arrogant behavior. They grabbed some sticks and went out to beat him. Ko Bong only said, “You can hit my body but you cannot hit my mind. If you can hit my mind, I will become your disciple.” But none of the monks could hit his mind. Another time, outside Nam Ja Sa Temple, he shouted the same kinds of things, and again all of the monks were very angry and wanted to beat him. Ko Bong again asked if anyone could hit his mind. At the time, Zen Master Hae Bong heard this and came to see Ko Bong. He asked, “How many pounds does your mind weigh?” Ko Bong could not answer, so he cut off all his hair and became a monk.

"When the String Is Too Tight": On this week's episode of Sit, Breathe, Bow (a podcast sponsored by the Kwan Um Online Sangha) Paul Park JDPSN talks about meeting Zen Master Seung Sahn and the "hard practice sickness" that makes us believe the only way to practice is to be very committed. To find out more, listen now. Link in bio. #zen #podcast #kwanumzen

"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
