A living man who sits and does not lie down;
A dead man who lies down and does not sit!
After all, these are just dirty skeletons
Hui Neng – Zen Monk
JUST DIRTY
SKELETONS

The body is the wisdom-tree,
The mind is a bright mirror in a stand;
Take care to wipe it all the time
And allow no dust to cling.
Shen Hsiu – Zen Monk
MIRROR IN A STAND
KONGO ZEN INDIA
Fundamentally no wisdom-tree exists,
Nor the stand of a mirror bright.
Since all is void from the beginning
Where can the dust alight?
Hui Neng – Zen Monk
ALL IS VOID
KONGO ZEN INDIA
He who holds that nothingness;
Is formless, flowers are visions,
Let him enter boldly!
Lin Chi – Zen Monk
LET HIM ENTER BOLDLY!

When I pass over the bridge,
Lo, the water flows not,
But the bridge is flowing.
Fudaichi – Zen Monk
THE BRIDGE IS FLOWING

Empty-handed I go and yet the spade is in my
hands; I walk on foot, and yet I am riding on the
back of an ox.
Fudaichi – Zen Monk
EMPTY-HANDED I GO

The perfect way knows no difficulties,
If you wish to see it with your own eyes
Have no fixed thoughts either for or against it.
Zen Koan
PERFECT WAY
KONGO ZEN INDIA
ZEN HISTORY
KONGO ZEN INDIA
Zen came into being through the merging of the Hindu-Buddhist
understanding, that the essential reality of life can be discovered
through non-attachment to any of its particular forms.
The harmony of life with Dharma can be realized by letting go of
that life so that it is free to be itself.
The word Zen is a Japanese rendering of the old Chinese word
Ch’an, which in its turn was taken from the Indian word Dhyana
ZEN BORN
KONGO ZEN INDIA
One morning the Buddha arrived to find twelve hundred people
seated, waiting for him to speak. He sat in front of them in
silence. The time went past but still there was silence.
At last, silently, he held up a flower. Nobody understood this
gesture except one person, who smiled, having seen that no
words could be a substitute for the living flower.
The Buddha said, ‘Here is the true Way and I transmit to you.’
