Zen Saying: “The finger thatpoints at the moon is not themoon.”All techniques are linguistic andare a wave-abstraction. All ofthe perceiver’s perception, evenspirituality and a spiritual path,is part of the wave-illusion.Zen Saying: “You cannot understanduntil you are free of the stink ofreligion.”Both Buddhism and the “Path” carrywith them a lifestyle: of how tobe, do, have, and create. Thesecarry with them the “should” of aspiritual Identity bringing forthanother layer of behavior whichbecomes fused with the “spiritualpath” concept.Zen Stories On Spiritual PathsTe-shan was sitting outside doingzazen.Lung-t’an asked him why he didn’tgo back home.Te-shan answered, “Because it isdark.”107
Lung-t’an then lit a candle andhanded it to him.As Te-shan was about to take it,Lung-t’an blew it out.Te-shan had a sudden realization,and bowed.Zen Saying: “The real trick is toreceive the seal but be free ofthe imprint.”Picture a stamp or seal. Both makean impression and leave a trace ormark.In this way, as a pointer, boththe pointer and that which itpoints to, dissolve.All teachings are illusionarypointers, words which areabstracted representations ofthings which do not exist.Let them dissolve.Ramana Maharshi: (paraphrased)The teaching is a stick thatstirs a fire, as the fire burnsbrighter and higher both the fuel(student), the fire and the stick108
