From this month’s first Zen maxim in Japanese site of Rinzai-Obaku Zen.
Zen enlightenment is not about arriving somewhere, but about seeing through illusion and turning your gaze to the here and now.
過橋村酒美 隔岸野花香 (はしをすぎてそんしゅびなり きしをへだててやかかんばし)
臨黄ネットの今月の最初の禅語から。
禅でいう悟りはどこかに到達することではなく、幻想を抜けて今をまなざすことです。
Ke tua o te arawhiti, he reka ngā kai o te kāinga; kei tāwāhi, ka puta te haunga Ātaahua o ngā puāwai
Hei tā te kōrero tuatahi o te marama i te wāhanga Hapani o te Rinzai-Obaku Zen.
Ehara te māramatanga Zen i te tae atu ki tētahi wāhi kē, engari ko te kite mā te kore mātakite, me te huri atu o te tirohanga ki te wā nei, ki te wā tonu.
