Habit of the Tongue
Chung Shim Sunim, a sharing at Su Bong Zen Monastery
After I became a nun in Hwa Gye Sa Temple and practiced there for a year, a senior monk told me: “After the summer retreat, you will become Zen Master Seung Sahn’s attendant.” I was shocked to hear this because, to me, Dae Seon Sa Nim was high above — someone I could not get close to. I said: “I cannot be his attendant. I don’t know anything.” But the senior monk said: “No problem. You will be fine.” On the first day, I went to Zen Master Seung Sahn’s room and bowed to him. He was very enthusiastic and happy and said: “Don’t worry, no problem. Just relax.”

For All Beings

Myong An Sunim, Abbot of Haeng Won Zen Centre |
For each and every day until he was sixty years old, Zen Master Seung Sahn would do one thousand prostrations every day. He would get up a couple of hours before everyone else at the Zen Centre and do nine hundred prostrations by himself. Then, after everyone got up for morning practice, he would join them for the daily one hundred and eight prostrations.
Feeling Is Thinking
 |
| Andrzej Stec JDPSN |
One day in Korea, I was travelling with Dae Soen Sa Nim in the car. I said to him, “I want to go back to Poland.” Dae Soen Sa Nim answered, “That’s only your thinking.” He made his point, that thinking is no good.
Then I thought if I expressed my feelings he will allow me to go, so I said, “But I feel I have to go back to Poland.” Then immediately, Dae Soen Sa Nim turned to me and shouted so loudly with such full volume that it seemed the car windshield almost cracked: “FEELING IS THINKING!”
That was the end of the conversation.
Not saying alive. Not saying dead
 |
| Gye Mun Sunim JDPS, Abbot, Kwan Yin Chan Lin, Singapore |
One day, the Master Jianyuan Zhongxing followed Zen Master Daowu to a devotee’s family home to conduct a funeral service. Placing his hand on the coffin, the Master asked, “Alive? Dead?” Daowu answered, “I will not say dead or alive.” The Master asked, “Why won’t you say?” Daowu answered, “I won’t say! I won’t say!”
After the funeral
the Master and Daowu headed back to the temple together. On the way back the
Master demanded, “Venerable, you have to say something to Zhongxin today. If
you don’t, I’ll hit you!” Daowu answered, “Feel free to hit me if you want, but
I will not say dead or alive.” The Master then punched Daowu several times.
Daowu returned to the temple by himself, asking the Master to leave him. If the
others at the temple knew what had happened, they would not have let the Master
off so easy.
The master took
his leave of Daowu and went to see Zen Master Shishuang. After relating the
whole incident to Shishuang, the Master asked, “Venerable, please say
something.” Shishuang answered, “Don’t you see? Daowu said, ‘I will not say
dead or alive’.” At this, Daowu had a great awakening. He then prepared a feast
to repent for his wrong doing.
Today, we
commemorate the 10th year since the passing of Zen Master Seung Sahn. I am
sharing this kong-an with the great adepts gathered here today — please have a
go at it. Zen Master Seung Sahn entered Nirvana ten years ago. His form body is
long gone, but what about his Dharma body? Is it dead? Is it alive?
Gathering at the Whole World is a Single

生也不道，死也不道。
 |
| 繼聞法師，新加坡觀音禪林住持 |
吊畢同回。途次，師曰：「和尚今日須與仲興道，儻不道即打去也。」道吾曰：「打即任打。生也不道，死也不道。」師遂打道吾數拳。道吾歸院，令師且去。少間主事知了打汝。
師乃禮辭往石霜。舉前語及打道吾事：「今請和尚道。」石霜曰：「汝不見道吾道 ‘生也不道死也不道’？」
師於此大悟，乃設齋懺悔。
今日崇山禪師入滅十週年紀念日。提一公案與大家分享。請諸大德試一參。 禪師涅槃十週年，色身已消失了，其法身，生耶？死耶？
世界一花共聚會 十方禪子證無為
Great Love, Great Compassion

| Zen Master Dae Bong |
Zen Master Seung Sahn had Great Love, Great Compassion and Great Wisdom and Energy. He gave wonderful, inspiring, simple and clear dharma talks. His kong-an teaching was very strong, clear and meticulous. He taught us how to organize zen centers and retreats. He taught us Zen in formal practice and everyday life situations. Most amazing of all to me, was his ability to turn any situation into teaching and to “hit” his students while also inspiring them.
