A way of thinking, a way of living
Zen Buddhism began in China in the sixth century and places great importance on work, helping others and meditation (deep concentrated thought). Teaching with stories is a common practice in Zen Buddhism. The purpose of the stories is to teach Buddhism a proper understanding of the universe, by showing that they need to find and concentrate on what is most important.
One example of a Zen story is “Chasing Two Rabbits”. In this story, a martial arts(武术) student said to his teacher, “I want to improve my knowledge of martial arts. In addition to learning from you, I would like to study another style with a different teacher. What do you think about this?” The teacher answered, “The hunger who chases two rabbits at the same time catches neither one.” This story teaches us that trying to get everything will get you nothing. It also shows us that it is better to focus one’s energy on one task at a time.
Another Zen story is “Practice Makes Perfect”. This is the story of a person studying singing. His teacher was strict and made him sing the same part of the song he was studying over and over again. The student became upset and ran away. One night, he came to a place where a singing competition was being held. He entered the competition and sang the only tune he knew. He was praised and later became a famous performer. This shows us that hard work brings good results. Like the first story, it also teaches that it is better to focus one’s energy on one thing and to become an expert in it.
In the story “Empty Your Cup”, a university professor visited a Zen master to talk about Zen. The master served the professor a cup of tea and kept pouring until the tea flowed out of the cup. The professor could not help saying, “Stop! No more tea will go in!” The master answered, “I cannot show you Zen until you empty your cup.” From this story, we see that we cannot learn something if we think we already know everything, and that we should always have an open mind to new things.
Zen stories mean different things to different people, but they all teach us something new.
