Listen "4-20 What do I do now?"
Episode Synopsis
r/zen is a reddit forum about Zen scholarship, study, and practice. Reddit Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/zen/comments/12sfpyz/what_do_i_do_now_that_im_originally_a_buddha/ Post Summary: You people, each of you has an ancient mirror. All the myriad forms-long, short, square, round-each and every one appears in it. If you go to the longness or shortness to understand, in the end you'll never be able to find it. This is why Hsueh Tou said, "When the bright mirrors are on their stands, the range of images differs." Instead you must "All face south and see the northern dipper." When you're facing south why are you nevertheless to look at the northern dipper? Zen Teaching: Yuanwu's first book of instruction, translated by Cleary, Blue Cliff Record. Other translations are not reliable. Zen Lineage: www.reddit.com/r/zen/wiki/getstarted
