Zen is Understanding Yourself

Interesting teaching, I liked this part:
"Not understanding yourself is not understanding the truth. That is why there is fighting among ourselves. If all the people in the world understood themselves, they would attain the Absolute. Then the world would be at peace. World peace is Zen."

Ah, yes. This is one of my favorite of Zen Master Seung Sahn's Dharma talks. Thanks for the reminder.

It is heartening to be reminded that little-by-little, day-by-day it is possible to bring peace to my life and give peace a chance to enter the world through meditation.
