Sayings of Zen Master Kyong Ho
(Part 2)
(Part 2)
6) Make friends but don't expect any benefit for yourself. Friendship
only for oneself harms trust. So an ancient once said, "Have an
enduring friendship with purity in heart."'
7) Don't expect others to follow your direction. When it happens that
others go along with you, it results in pride. So an ancient once said,
"Use your will to bring peace between people."
8) Expect no reward for an act of charity. Expecting something in
return leads to a scheming mind. So an ancient once said, "Throw false
spirituality away like a pair of old shoes."
9) Don't seek profit over and above what your work is worth.
Acquiring false profit makes a fool (of oneself). So an ancient once
said, "Be rich in honesty."
10) Don't try to make clarity of mind with severe practice. Every
mind comes to hate severity, and where is clarity in mortification? So
an ancient once said, "Clear a passageway through severe practice."
11) Be equal to every hindrance. Buddha attained Supreme
Enlightenment without hindrance. Seekers after truth are schooled in
adversity. When they are confronted by a hindrance, they can't be
over-come. Then, cutting free, their treasure is great.
Zen Master Kyong Ho (1849-1912) was the Great-grandteacher of Zen Master Seung Sahn
