Shortcut

Zen Master Dae Bong Wikipedia

In the West, many people like Zen as a “Pointing directly to Mind, see your true self and become Buddha” shortcut path.

When Zen Master Dae Bong was still a young monk, he once asked Zen Master Seung Sahn, “Is there a more shortcut in Zen, something even shorter?”

Zen Master Seung Sahn answered, “Yes, of course there is!”

Dae Bong Sunim asked, “What is it?”

Zen Master Seung Sahn replied, “Not for me!”



Commentary: Putting aside “short” or “long”, first of all why do you practice? When you really see your true self, what will you do with it? That’s why an old worthy said:” A complete mind becomes Buddha, a complete Buddha becomes a human being.” Not for me!
