Teachings

Karma controls you, or you control your karma

Buddha

The most common explanation about karma is cause and effect.
What’s important is what kind of choices you make.

Zen Master Bon Shim

Practice without expectation

Practice without expectation

Student: It is very difficult to practice without expectation. Because we are putting in all the energy and time and... So how to do it?

Zen Master Bon Shim

The more you practice the more careful you must be

Medicinal plant

Volt egyszer egy beteg ember, aki sok orvoshoz fordult segítségért, de azok csak tehetetlenül tárták szét a karjukat – nem tudtak rajta segíteni.

Zen Master Bon Shim

We have to experience it

We have to experience it

A long time ago I heard from Zen Master Seung Sahn: "One after another, each thing has it. One after another, each thing is complete."

Zen Master Bon Shim

We practice starting over again and again

It just comes and goes

Sometimes we look at our path like it is one line, and we hope that going on this path just means getting better, being more happy, having more joy, having a more successful life.

But that has never been my experience.
