Zen Meditation

When we come together to meditate, we first experience becoming quiet, relaxed and grounded. After that, we start to see more clearly our habitual tendencies in body, speech and mind.

Teaching

“Zen means keeping correct situation, correct relationship and correct function moment to moment. That is correct life.”

더위가 오면 더위가 나를 죽이고
추위가 오면 추위가 나를 죽인다.

어떻게 더위와 추위를 면하나?

사람은 언제나 자신의 좁은 상대적 마음의 세상에서 오고가며 빠져나가지 못해 괴로워한다. 상대적인 ...곤두박질을 넘어서는 순간이 자유다. 매 순간 상대적인 사견에 사로잡힌 자리에서 자유로워져, 진실의 세계를 들어가 절대적인 자유를 얻어 세상에 필요한 일을 해야한다.

When hot come, hot kills you.

How can you be free from hot or cold?

Human beings are attached to opppsites thinking and suffer endlessly. When we are free of relative attachment and can see the truth, we become infinite in time and space. Not only that, truth sets us free and our actions have power and conviction. How wonderful is that?

If seeing and hearing are clear, then you understand your original gifts and can allow them to flow freely in the world.

If seeing and hearing are not clear, then you have to relinquish the eyes and ears, sights and sounds, image and concept of the one who sees and hears.

Hanging ...off the edge of a cliff, let go and fall ten thousand feet just in a second and vividly come to life.

Do you perceive the point of this or not?

Six divided by six equals one.

- from the Diamond Paramita teachings by Zen Master Ko Bong

보고 듣는 것이 분명하다면, 당신의 본래 자산을 알며 그 것을 세상에 자유롭게 흐르도록 허용 할 수 있습니다.

보고 듣는 것이 분명하지 않다면, 눈과 귀, 광경과 소리, 모양과 개념을 인식하는 그자를 포기해야합니다.

절벽 끝에 매달리다 손을 놓고 천단계 거리를 한순간에 떨어져 나가 재생하십시오.

당신은 이 요점을 알겠습니까?

육 나누기 육은 하나 입니다.

- 고봉 선사의 금강 바라밀 가르침 중 발췌

더위가 오면 더위가 나를 죽이고
추위가 오면 추위가 나를 죽인다.

오늘은 매주 새벽수행 후 나누는 간단한 가르침 - ‘수행에서 얻는 5가지 기쁨’을 나누겠습니다:

불 - 본성을 드디어 만나는 기쁨
법 - 법신(마음)의 빛이 빛나는 기쁨
승 - 걸림 없는 관계들의 기쁨
스승 - 만물이 스승이 되는 기쁨
그리고 부처가 되는 기쁨: 그것은 밝은 얼굴로 변하는 기쁨입니다.

모두 자신의 얼굴을 보며 오늘의 수행의 기쁨들을 누리시기 바랍니다. 🌟🪷🌿

Facing our fears with courage and overcoming obstacles are a necessity to grow as human beings. Wonhyo(원효 元曉) and Uisang(의상 義湘) were two dharma friends setting out on the path to Enlightenment in the 7th century despite all odds including war and capture. Their legendary story and ...teaching continue to inspire us today to reflect on the real purpose of meditation.

Dharma talk by Kathy Park JDPSN for Buddha's Enlightenment Day, December, 9, 2023 at Providence Zen Center, U.S.A 미국 프로비덴스 선원 (홍법원) 성도재일 법문중 발췌 - 캐티 박 지도법사 2024.12.9

어떤 도전이라도 인간은 성장하기 위해서는 용기를 얻어 두려움을 직면하며 장애물을 극복하지 않으면 목적에 도달하기 어렵습니다. 원효(元曉) 대사와 의상(義湘) 대사는 당시 7세기 삼국시대의 험한 전쟁시대중 수행 길에 나선 젊은 두 도반들이었습니다. 보리심의 서원을 품고 나선 그들의 이야기와 열정있는 가르침은 오늘 날 우리에게 명상의 실제 목적을 반영하도록 영감을 줍니다.
