Zen encounters

Commemorating Parinirvana  of My Shi Fu--20th anniversary .
A record of my encounter with The Grand Master of RinZai Zen.

My teachers

We live in a age where by everything is relative and nothing is absolute. Everything depends!
To take the plunge of spiritual life  ---do we need to talk some more , think some more, argue some more ? Relative is relative to what ?
We need grounding and the best grounding is a good friend --our Guru .

silent

It seems many highly attained being meditate with their mouth. Talk and talk, books after books.
Seriously if your mind runs like monkey --what attainment can that be ?
Silent !

why meditate ?

Over the years many people had sought me out as their meditation teacher.
It is unfortunate most are not ready or has other motives behind their pursue of the spiritual life.
Why do you meditate ?
then ask for instruction for meditation !

Transcendence and salvation

Zen Master:

Duality is an illusion of our language.

For a new born, does he know he/she is here or there?

When a young child looks at a Monet, does he know it is a great monet? Or does he think, “What is a monet?”.

Have you tried visiting a picture gallery using your childhood innocence?

where is nirvana

Zen Master:

“Where is Nirvana? “

“Is It here?”

“Is It there?”

“Is it everywhere?”

Zen Master

“It is only found under your nose!”

“Look at a mirror, please!”
