The core teachings of Zen

 

"I am not questioning you about the core of Buddhist doctrine but would like to know what stands at the center of our own tradition."

 

The Master replied, "Well, you've posed your question; now quickly bow three times!"

 

- Zen Master Yunmen, #66

 

 

UExis:

Don’t just make up stuff, check what the Zen Masters actually say about ‘core teachings.’

Now, what does bowing and moving on have to do with “what stands at the center of our own tradition”?
