禪學講座： 初心 Dharma Talk: Beginner's Mind

禪心即是初心：只是不知，勇於嘗試

這便是修禪的要訣。

Zen mind is beginner’s mind：Only don’t know and just try. 

It is the essence of practicing Zen. 

感覺就是思維

Andrzej指導師

有一天在韓國，我與崇山禪師在車上，我告訴他：「我想返回波蘭。」大禪師說：「那只是你的思維。」他說對了，那的確不是太好的想法。

於是，我想我應該要表達我的感受，他便會讓我離開。所以我便說：「但我覺得我要回去波蘭。」即是，大禪師回首望著我，用可以振破擋風玻璃的聲量大喝道：「感覺就是思維！」

就是這樣，對話結束了。

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.
