Ask the origin

Science will search for the point of differentiation. For example in medical science,

there are the department of the internal medicine and the surgical department or another one.

In the surgical department, there are at specialized like the chest surgical department or the brain surgical one.

Therefore scientists learn asking for the new division. Contemporary science has been growth like that way.

As compared with that, Zen say that have to ask for the origin or have to return before dividing.

That is sure, we cannot solve the problem unless be based the origin together. What is the origin?

Zen master ask his disciple.

‘What are you when your parents was not born yet?’

There is not a trace to be seen of you actually. But that is the world where can transcend the words or can get the origin of affection.

Zen master deny his disciple. ‘You are a failure.’ He always deny his disciple day after day.

The disciple will suffer from it and will be at his wit’s end. Actually at that time, it is a chance for himself.

Zen master teach his disciples as that. He never encourage them with praise.

Zen master never teach his disciples, but he will rob words from his disciple.

Like that, Zen is opposite coaching compared with general education.
