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!”

Practise of ZEN

Zen Student:

“Teach me the practice of Zen?”

Zen Master:

“All I do is curl up on my Bed!”

Reflections:

The Buddha described meditation like this: “When a man is running he will naturally slow down to a walk, when he is walking he will naturally come to a standstill, from the standstill he will naturally lie down.”

The practice of meditation is exactly like this.

Death

Zen Master : 

Will you die?

Can you prepare to die?

Do you know when you are going die?

When is dying not a suffering?

 Are you ready to do the most important work in life?

Are you thinking that spiritual work can be done later in life?

Why not when you are young, healthy and of good mental state?

Death and rebirth

Zen master:

“For every rebirth you had to squeeze out of the pelvis and vagina,  get sick, growing up, fed milk in the infancy, eat rice at adulthood, go to school, take examinations,  start work, get old and die again!  Then you press the repeat button over and over again.”

“Are you sure this is what you want?”
