This point means originally nothing. This is true emptiness, the absolute world. This point means open is open, closed is closed. Everything is true just as it is. Sky is blue.
Trees are green.
This is truth, the complete world. The shining faces of bodhisattvas from around the world fill this mountain hall. An old Korean book, Chung Gam Rok , said that when seven hundred great dharma teachers come to Guk Sa Bong, the dharma light of Kye Ryong Sahn will shine throughout the world. So today we are opening this International Zen Center. This is the result of the great vow of our teacher, Zen Master Seung Sahn, and of the dedicated and tireless efforts of sincere Buddhists from Korea and many foreign countries.
