Yet another question. This on page 17:
Is there a better translation of the characters for “revolve”? And it feels that some verb and/or punctuation might help in understanding ZMSS’s message.

“Enlightenment means to see what harm you are involved in and to renounce it.” David Brazier, The New Buddhism
“The most straightforward advice on awakening enlightened mind is this: practice not causing harm to anyone—yourself or others—and every day, do what you can to be helpful.” Pema Chodron, “What to Do When the Going Gets Rough”

Re: Compass of Zen Teaching
This will be my last post on Compass of Zen Teaching by Zen Master Seung Sahn. From Temple Rules:
Do not cling to your opinions. Do not discuss your private views with others. To cling to and defend opinions is to destroy your practice. Put away all your opinions. This is true Buddhism.

Re: Compass of Zen Teaching
I would be interested in hearing if there is a better translation, but I just take it to mean everything revolves around something else in the universe. And, of course, the question "when did they ever revolve" is an original nature question. Wu Bong's note's are also important, as this was a key Seung Sahn teaching.
Just a few thoughts...
When walking, standing, sitting, lying down, speaking,
being silent, moving, being still.
At all times, in all places, without interruption - what is this?
One mind is infinite kalpas.
