moving mountain? moving boat?_planeswalker_April 9 2007, 18:39:50 UTC
one afternoon, Zen Master Man Gong and several of his students took a boat ride to An Myon Do Island. On the way, he pointed to a mountain and asked his students, "Is the mountain moving, or is the boat moving?" Hae Am stepped forward and said, "neither the mountain nor boat is moving. mind is moving". "How can you prove that?" Man Gong asked, whereupon Hae Am picked up a handkerchief and waved it. "where did you get this idea?" the zen master asked.
I found a copy of Zen Flesh Zen Bones at my old school when I was in grade 8. It was weird cos it didn't belong to anyone, one day it was just on top of the microwave in the basement. No one claimed it so I took it home and kept it.
