Many people is afraid of Zen teaching.Especially the zen
koan.Intellectual people is afraid.When a koan is bring into your
mind,all concept and intellect stop.The mind is stuck and cannot
move,it cut off all thinking.That is wonderful,but people is very
afraid of it.People love intellect and think they understand
alot.Me too.I learn alot of Buddhism,Buddha said this and Buddha
said that.But when i met a Zenmaster,i get stuck.
1.Who are you?
2.Why you eat everyday?
3.Before you born,what is your oringinal face?
4. Die where you go?
All koan cut people understanding,and make them look stupid.
In colledge and university,you are train to know this and know
that.
In Zen,all koan give you a "dont know mind"!
