Zenju's Path - African American and Zen

Post by kirtu »

Zenju's Path from the Dutch Buddhist Broadcasting Foundation.
“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”

"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

"Only you can make your mind beautiful."
HH Chetsang Rinpoche

That was a really cool documentary, thanks for posting. Jan Willis is another African-American Buddhist. She's Professor of Religion at Wesleyan University and practices within the Gelugpa tradition:
