달마에서 혜능까지, 선종 6대조사의 대단원｜가난한 나무꾼이 육조가 된 이야기

"It is not the wind that moves, nor the flag that moves. It is only your minds that move." Hyeoneung, a young woodcutter born into poverty who could not even properly learn to read and write, supported his widowed mother by selling firewood. Holding his feet in his tracks at a single verse from the Diamond Sutra he happened to hear in the market, he laid down everything and headed to Mt. Huangmei to find the Fifth Patriarch, Great Master Hongren. "How can there be North and South in Buddha-nature?" Sent to a mill instead of the Dharma hall, he spent eight months silently pounding grain with a heavy stone tied to his waist. And the legendary single remark he made in response to Shenxiu's verse: "Originally, there is not a single thing; where would dust settle?" The grand finale of the Six Great Patriarchs of Zen Buddhism, which began with Bodhidharma, passed through Huike, Sengcan, Daoxin, and Hongren, and finally blossomed fully with Great Master Huineng! I convey that enlightenment does not lie in great learning or social status, but solely in reflecting upon my own mind in this very moment. Tonight, with a peaceful mind and the profound wisdom of Great Master Huineng, I hope you lay down the weariness of the day and enjoy deep peace. --- ⏱️ [ Timeline / Chapter ] 00:00 Is it the wind or the flag?
