Using intellectual understanding to find your true nature is like expecting a hungry man to satisfy his gnawing hunger by a picture of banana. Zen teaching is not like this . Zen teaching says, "Open your mouth . Here's a banana. Now eat !"

-Zen Master Seung Sahn

使用智力上的理解去寻找你的自性就像期望一个饥饿的人,用一张香蕉的图片去满足他的万分饥饿. 禅宗的教导不是这样. 禅宗说,"张开嘴. 这是香蕉. 现在吃!"

-崇山禅师
