Enlightenment Appears

DateMonday, August 27, 2007 at 6:37AM

"To realize Zen one has to pass through the barrier of the Patriarchs. Enlightenment follows when the road of thinking ceases. If you do not pass the barrier of the patriarchs, or if your road of thinking does not cease, then no matter what you think, no matter what you do, you are like a tangling ghost."

Trans. | Eido Shimano Roshi
Excerpt | Golden Wind (Talks on Zen Buddhism)
