Daily Thought; Like all thouhts sometimes helpful, sometimes not so much.

Thought for Sat, 21 Nov 2009

We say, "In calmness there should be activity; ' in activity there should be calmness." Actually, they are the same thing; to say "calmness" or to say "activity" is just to express different interpretations of one fact. There is harmony in our activity, and where there is harmony there is calmness. - D.T. Suzuki...

Dharma in Korea

Seoul Dharma Group is for Buddhists, people interested in Buddhism or anyone who is simply curious, where people with some connection with Korea can get and share information. There are links to Internet talks and reading material. Anybody may write in the Forum on any topic, but preferably related to Dharma in some way.
If you are an organization please create a group. You need to do this because, just as a member people will not see your information easily. Here are a few tips.

What is Buddhism



Also you can upload Dharma talks/music in the music player in ‘My Page’. When you join a group you can keep up to date with new activities. When you add somebody as a friend you can send private messages. At the top there is a small envelope icon which lets you know when you have a message.
Suggestions please email seouldharmagroup@gmail.com

Hi,

If there is anybody practicing Vipassana meditation in the tradition of Goenkaji who would like to get together to sit once a week, please contact us at itaewonyoga@yahoo.com.

There is already a Sunday group sit in Mapo. One day courses are also held there once a month. More information can be found on the dhamma korea site which can be accessed through dhamma.org.

In any case, I am just hoping to connect with other Vipassana meditators.

Zen Stories

The Gates of Paradise

A soldier named Nobushige came to Hakuin, and asked: "Is there really a paradise and a hell?" "Who are you?" inquired Hakuin. "I am a samurai," the warrior replied. "You, a soldier!" exclaimed Hakuin. "What kind of ruler would have you as his guard? Your face looks like that of a beggar." Nobushige became so angry that he began to draw his sword, but Hakuin continued: "So you have a sword! Your weapon is probably much too dull to cut off my head." As Nobushige drew his sword Hakuin remarked: "Here open the gates of hell!" At these words the samurai, perceiving the master's discipline, sheathed his sword and bowed. "Here open the gates of paradise," said Hakuin.
