Sensei –
What is the name of the Zen Master in Korea you referred to? And is it a specific book or collection you recommend?
Steve
Hi Steve,
The founder of the Korean school of Zen Buddhism was Master Wonhyo around the 13th century. The article I refer to was passed on to me by another teacher, and I apologize but I do not find a copy, nor can I currently locate a source of that article. I will see what I can find for you. You might try looking at some of Peter H. Lee’s anthologies of Korean Zen literature.
The important point for us in our training here is how dependence upon, or attachment to, an intellectual knowledge base provides us with a feeling of, or notion of, understanding, when in fact we may not yet have come into direct contact with the source of that understanding. This source, of course, is never a person, a story, or a book, but always the ineffable experience of non-separation in this very moment.
Good luck with your explorations.
Aloha,
Chris Curtis
Thank you Sensei!
The irony of seeking a specific reference to a story or quote about going beyond all informational references is worth a grin.
Thank you for your reply.
