The Golden Age of Zen: Zen Masters of the T'ang Dynasty, by John C.H. Wu

You wish to know the spirit of Yung-ming Zen?
Look at the lake in front of the gate.
When the sun shines, it radiates light and brightness,
When the wind comes, there arise ripples and waves.

 

 

-- from The Golden Age of Zen: Zen Masters of the T'ang Dynasty, by John C.H. Wu
