  • Zen Thought of the Day

    A monk asked, "What about when I'm not chasing after various things?"

    Chao-chou said, "Obviously it is just like this."

    The monk said, "Is this the fact of my own nature?"

    The Master said, "Chasing, chasing."

    What I am I am, and say not.

    Being is the great explainer.

              In the pursuit of learning, everyday something is acquired. In the pursuit of the Way, everyday something is dropped.

                  Do you know nothing? Do you see nothing? Do you remember nothing?...Are you alive or not? Is there nothing in your head?

                    By three methods we may learn wisdom:

                    First, by reflection, which is noblest;

                    second, by imitation, which is easiest;

                    and third, by experience,which is the bitterest.

                    --Confucius

                        "zen teachers in this day and age are prone to sickness.
                        Best not to let your mind get sick."

                        ....Zen quote from a master, Instant Zen.

                            Deep thoughts

                            Koans are not study or research material. Each koan must be considered a finger pointing to the reality of your own true nature as well as the reality of the world. This finger can only fulfill its role as pointer if you are aware that it is pointing directly at you.
