Sayings and Tales of Zen Buddhism

The word 'Zen' is considered by many to be an abbreviation for Zen Buddhism. However, today Zen is not tied to any particular group: it is a way of life, discipline and thinking. Zen practitioners use sayings and scriptures to help them uncover the secrets of the universe. The most often used is the Koan, a nonsensical question given to students for meditation. The answer to one of the best-known Koans 'What is the sound of one hand clapping?' is, of course, 'silence', the silence that permeates the universe. And for most of us unattainable without a good deal of practice, here is a treasury of such jewels of thought.

Citater

  • Bjørnhar citeretfor 8 år siden
    Zen enlightenment is as if you have been far away from home for many years, when you suddenly see your father in town. You know him right away without a doubt. There is no need to ask whether he is your father or not

    When the ancient Zen master was asked about the meaning of Buddhism he replied, ‘If there is any meaning in it, I myself am not liberated.’

    Always Zen is to be found, if at all, in immediate experience, the firefly rather than the star.
