Spirit, with regard to the Human Condition , has, as its most defining, 3 MAGNIFICENT Attributes, {as set forth by [the Late] Zen Master Seung Sahn} they are : Great Faith, Great Courage and Great Question. I reserve the Right to expose the Teachings of various and Venerable Zen Masters in order to familiarize unacquainted Practitioners to the Dharma of Buddha, and the Tao of Lao Tzu . You must have Faith in not only my delivery but in the Teachings themselves---they have withstood the "Test of Time" .
Stories, Legends and Myths serve to assist the Mind in overcoming Emotional, Mental and even Physical 'Obstructions'. They serve as Aids and Motivation to Individuals Devoted to Finding the Truth of their Essence, the Discovery of their Inmost Being--what Zen Master Seung Sahn identifies as one's "True Self". The Attainment of One's True Self affords the Martial Artist to be capable of "Touching fire and not being burned, entering water without getting wet, and walking through walls without injury nor blemish ". Here now, have Great Faith that Lao Tzu's words are True as are Zen Master Seung Sahn's.
