Encountering the Ancestors: Pai Chang (part 2 of 3)

Jay Rinsen Weik leads a retreat workshop at the Toledo Zen Center on November 16, 2008."In the teaching hall, the master said, 'The spiritual light shines alone, far transcending the senses and their fields. The essential substance is exposed, real and eternal. It is not contained in written words. The nature of mind has no defilement; it is basically perfect and complete in itself. Just get rid of delusive attachments and merge with the realization of thusness.'"For more information about the Toledo Zen Center, please visit toledozen.org .
