ombuddha

The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that

Yasutani Roshi.

The wind was flapping a temple flag, and two monks started an argument. One said the flag moved, the other said the wind moved; they argued back and forth but could not reach a conclusion. The Sixth Patriarch said, “It is not the wind that moves, it is not the flag that moves; it is your mind that moves.” Zen Koan. Photo by Nicholas & Margherita Burns.
