Summary
- A compilation of Zen Master Seung Sahn’s exchanges with American students
Key Takeaways
- Outside and inside are one. This is Zen mind
- All made of same substance – has no name, no form.
- Zen is understanding self
- Mind like a mirror. Simply reflecting what is
- Must develop no-thinking, no-attachment, no-desire mind
What I got out of it
- A Western-mind friendly dive into Zen Buddhism but I didn’t find it as deep or useful as some of Thich Nhat Hanh’s work (here and here)
