Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Seongcheol Sunim (1912–1993)

Perfect enlightenment pervades all, serenity and destruction are not two / All that is visible is Avalokiteshvara, all that is audible is the mystical sound / No other truth than seeing and hearing / Do you understand? / Mountain is mountain, water is water. — Seongcheol Sunim (1912–1993)

It is safe to say that Chan Buddhism has been completely infected by Confucianism thought when looking at how the orthodoxy works in instutionalized Japanese Zen Buddhism: extremely rigid hierarchy, respect to one’s superior above all else, stress put on maintaining the tradition and following rules.

When you read the *Recorded Sayings of Linji* for instance—one of the most important texts in the Rinzai sect of Japanese Zen Buddhism today—you can see Zen masters being challenged, yelled at, and even beaten, by Linji himself. All of this would be completely unthinkable in institutionalized Zen nowadays. This text just shows how iconoclastic and irreverent Chan could be, and, more importantly, how one could, through practice, become free of ego and social conventions, and ultimately how ungovernable one could become—something that should be of great interest to my good anarchists friend I reckon.

Newest translation! This is another Ichikawa Hakugen piece (it will be him for awhile) expanding on another piece I have yet to acquire, delving into the nature of 自由 (freedom) in both zen contexts and the socialist movement at large. Much love❤️!
