The Call of the Zen Bulls | 8 - Both Bull and Self Transcended

8 - Both Bull and Self Transcended“Whip, rope, person, and bull — all merge in No-Thing.This heaven is so vast no message can stain it.How may a snowflake exist in a raging fire?Here are the footprints of the patriarchs.Commentary: “Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment.Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists.Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless.”Vasant Swaha is a modern mystic sharing his love, joy, and wisdom in retreats. This is an excerpt from a Satsang during the Sacred Silence Retreat at Dharma Mountain, in Norway, in the 19th of January of 2011.For more information visit www.vasantswaha.net
