:namaste:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Hi guys , just like to share a Chan story here .

Master Dong Liang and his Master Yun Yan .

One day , Master Dong Liang because feeling puzzled by his master teachings , he asked his master ;

Master , you said even the trees and the nature are also expounding the dharma ?

Master Yun Yan replied : oh , definitely !

Master Dong Liang : but , I don't understand , I really don't hear anything !?

Master Yun Yan : I see , you are listening using your ears , that's why you can't hear it !

Master Dong Liang : master , how should I listen then ?

Master Yun Yan : ah ha , that's easy , you should use your eyes to hear instead !

At that moment , upon hearing that , Master Dong Liang realized instantly .
