Grazyna Perl ou maître zen Bon Yo

A la suite de maître Seug Sahn (voir le message ci-avant), je vous présente maître Bon Yo, anciennement Grazyna Perl, de l’École Zen Kwan Um. Elle se présente en tant que femme dans la tradition du bouddhisme coréen :

Coming empty-handed, going empty-handed -- that is human.
When you are born, where do you come from?
When you die, where do you go?
Life is like a floating cloud which appears.
Death is like a floating cloud which disappears.
The floating cloud itself originally does not exist.
Life and death, coming and going, are also like that.
But there is one thing which always remains clear.
It is pure and clear, not depending on life and death.

Then what is the one pure and clear thing?

J'ai vu cette femme lors de l'émission en juillet.
Quelle présence, quelle puissance, et avec un sourire de bonté.
On sentait vraiment une profonde expèrience.
Un être rare, à mon humble avis.
Merci de nous le faire partager sur ton remarquable blog.

Bon Yo a dit…

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.... <3
