Seungsahn Quotes

• La mente clara es como la luna llena en el cielo. A veces vienen nubes y la cubren, pero la luna siempre está detrás de ellas. Cuando las nubes desaparecen, la luna brilla intensamente. Así que no te preocupes por la mente clara: siempre está ahí. Cuando viene el pensamiento, detrás de él está la mente clara. Cuando el pensamiento se va, sólo hay mente clara. El pensamiento va y viene, va y viene, no debes estar apegado al ir o al venir.

• If you are thinking, you can't understand Zen. Anything that can be written in a book, anything that can be said - all this is thinking . . . but if you read with a mind that has cut off all thinking, then Zen books, sutras and Bibles are all the truth. So is the barking of a dog or the crowing of a rooster. All things are teaching you at every moment, and these sounds are even better teaching than Zen books.
