Zen Saying

禅是佛教的一种形式，注重于觉醒

Zen teaches that all humans have the capacity to attain enlightenment because we all have an inherent Buddha-nature; indeed, we are all already enlightened beings, but our true potential has been clouded by ignorance. According to some Zen traditions, this ignorance is overcome through a sudden breakthrough — called satori — during meditation in which the true nature of reality, and our experience of it, is revealed.

Zen is a form of Buddhism that places emphasis on attaining awakening or the “path of enlightenment.” It’s used as a method of trying to discover the true meaning of life. Zen teaches its followers to strip away their “layers” – their expectations, opinions, and even beliefs – so that they can see the truth of who they really are and what they really want in their lives.

The insights that these stories seeded, as time rolled on, flowered into invaluable instructions for those wanting to reach liberation.
