Have No Preferences

This talk and discussion was led by Jay Chikyo Weik at the Toledo Zen Center on November 14, 2007. The great way is not difficult / for those who have no preferences / When love and hate are both absent / everything becomes clear and undisguised / Make the smallest distinction however / and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart / If you wish to see the truth / then hold no opinions for or against anything / To set up what you like against what / you dislike is the disease of the mind / When the deep meaning of things is not understood / the mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail. -Sosan Zenji, Faith Mind For more information about the Toledo Zen Center, please visit www.toledozen.org.
