"Open your mouth, and already it is a mistake."

– Zen Master Seung Sahn

As I've mentioned before, I'm sort of backing off the spiritual awareness stuff.

I've come to the conclusion that every time I talk about this stuff, I just build a wall of words and opinions between the reader and the direct experience. I open my mouth, and already it is a mistake.

I know there are plenty of other people out there better able to address this subject than I am.
The late Korean zen master Seung Sahn is one of them. I'm currently rereading his book, "Wanting Enlightenment is a Big Mistake."

Here is a transcript of a 1985 session he held in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This comes from the website of Kwan Um Zen.
