Default Re: What is a belief system?

"This world was originally complete stillness. There were no names, forms, or words. If mind appears, then the sky, earth, mountains, rivers, everything appears. If mind disappears, where do these things return to? If you say, "They return to emptiness," then you have opened your mouth, which is already a mistake. What can you do? If you don't understand, go to the kitchen and drink cold water."
Zen master Seung Sahn
