Dear Friends,

Andrew Campnona mentions a Zen story

Here is the original story, taken from a 1959 translation of a classic Zen
txt:

Not the Wind, Not the Flag

Two monks were arguing about a flag.
One said: "The flag is moving."
The other said: "The wind is moving."
The sixth patriarch happened to be passing by.
He said: "Not the wind, not the flag; mind is moving."

-- Mu-Mon

The text is taken from The Gateless Gate by Mu-Mon.
It was transcribed by Nyogen Senzaki and Paul Reps.
The English translation of The Gateless Gate is included
in Zen Flesh, Zen Bones compiled by Paul Reps.

Best regards,
