The following is a talk prepared in Classical Chinese and delivered by the Zen Master Kusan at the Zen Center on the 8th of February, 1973. He is the spiritual guide and teacher of Zen meditation for approximately one thousand monks and nuns in that part of Korea. All creatures are riding in a boat and crossing the sea.
Man is one with the boat, and water is one with the land.
All is constant action and movement. There is only one thing, which is majestic and quite natural. All things are at rest therein. If you know where they go, then you have arrived at the place of jewels. Kick the earth, touch the moon and the sun with your hands, and only then will you first attain.
