The Teachings of Zen Master

One must follow the way with sincerity and integrity. Even though there are slightly different teaching styles, the Way is one. If you are not sincere you will be wasting your time and suffer a mental loss.

If you practice Zen and resolve life’s great question then all your bad actions and sins for many lives will be extinguished, and you will end the suffering of samsara.

While you are practicing, give up your function as a human being: become deaf, blind and stupid (not clever). If you don’t attach to anything then the big ‘I’ appears by itself.

No matter what a person has done, you should respect him like a Buddha. This is the very essence of Buddhism.

The Buddha's cousin Devadatta harassed the Buddha throughout his life. And finally, Devadatta was put through a living hell. He was put through this as an expedient to protect other people from his wiles.

But how was the Buddha supposed to treat Devadatta, his own cousin but his greatest of enemies?

He rewarded him with Supreme Enlightenment.
