Seung Sahn: No Problem!

Today's video, a ten-minute excerpt from the flim Wake Up!, wonderfully captures the directness and good humor of Zen Master Seung Sahn's teaching.

You'll see portions of a dharma talk given in Oslo and also observe part of an interview with three students.

This film was shot during one of Dae Soen Sa Nim's last visits to Europe and, when I watch it today, I'm struck by the enthusiasm and excitement he brought to his teaching. It wasn't simply charisma - it was his genuine concern for his students' awakening.

Thank you for reading Ox Herding. May you always keep don't know mind!
