Zen Master Seung Sahn: "Wake up!" (part 2 of 6)

[SincereCreature]

This is exactly the kind of a Zen Master Alan Watts talks about!

[mlcoo17]

NO WHY, NO WHY, NO WHAT, NO WHAT ONLY IS ONLY IS.

There is no security in this world, only opportunity to EXPERIENCE. If you run from the uncomfortable and live in heavy attachment, not only will there be suffering, but also you never get to experience the purity of the air, the purity of the water. The eternal cool breeze of the ONE mind which flows through us, and ALL places through ALL time.

wonderful. Very deep teachings.

I like his questions, love it. YOU DON*T KNOW ANYTHING, and the class went silent. Ha ha. We in the west know nothing and always use science to say: look at my knowledge, look im smart, I know stuff. NO. You don't even know yourself. Great video.

8:03 What does the monk say to Zen master Seung? After The Zen master has posed him the question of "Why does Bradidarmah have no fear"?

[DispiacereTheDamned]

@ClarkesonTheMarksman The question asked was "Why does bodhidharma have no beard?" and the monk replied "No bodhidharma, no beard"

[ClarkesonTheMarksman]

@DispiacereTheDamned Nice

[yuendaehyup]

He passed away or entered into Nervana

[macdougdoug]

This guy was really awake, very rare - no need to impress with spiritual hocus pocus.

He also tells some great modern/funny zen stories in text form on his website (sorry cant remember exact address)

[bubbagogo]

Yes, very rare. Most of the "teachers" on youtube are sound asleep.

[c1oudwind]
