Chung Tai Koans - Don't Wait Next Life



Don’t Wait Until Next life
A monk who had encountered an obstacle in his
practice became doubtful as to whether or not he
could complete the path in this lifetime. He then asked the
Grand Master, “Grand Master, in my next life…”
Before he could finish his question, the Grand Master
immediately chided him, “Next life? Practice is that one
thought extends to be an eon and an eon is in one
thought. In this very lifetime, liberate yourself from the
cycle of life and death.”
