What is Dharma and Seon Practice?

(1) What is Dharma?

Only this is Dao! (Knocking on the table)

It is neither true, nor false.

It is neither existing, nor non-existing.

It is neither the same, nor different.

It is neither right, nor wrong.

It is neither good, nor bad.

It is neither clean, nor dirty.

It can be neither more, nor less.

It is neither known, nor unknown.

It is neither grasped, nor released.

There is neither ignorance, nor enlightenment.

Only, this is Dao! (knocking on the table)

(2) What is Seon practice?

Only this is it! (knocking on the table)

It is false, when you do study it.
It is false, when you do not study it. 

Only this is It! (while knocking on the table)

(3) The Practice of Musim Seon center

①Listen carefully to the Dharma talk from Seon Master Kim.

②Only attend to the teaching and discard all of your own opinions.

③Associate yourself with the teaching of the Seon Master.

④Never give up until solving This. (Raising a finger)

⑤Never judge Dharma on your own, by yourself. Awakening comes by itself spontaneously, just do your practice by turning your ear to the dharma talks and listening with desperate mind.

⑥Never think, “If I do like this or like that, I will make it.”

⑦Trust, without doubts, the Seon teaching of the Seon Master. If you have any doubts, you had better go to someone else whose teaching can be completely believed.

⑧Do not look to anything else but your own problem.

⑨Don’t look back on yourself or your way to practice. Just forget yourself.

⑩Don’t think about the way or how to practice. There is no way out of or into enlightenment.

⑪Put your mind always on the practice and don’t try to judge your own progress.

⑫Don’t discuss the practice process and methods with others. Only depend on the teachings of the Seon master.
