Transmission Dharma Combat
On April 15, 2001 Zen Master Dae Kwan received transmission from Zen Master Seung Sahn at Kye Ryong Sahn International Zen Center/Mu Sahn Sah.
Question: I have a question about this?just before we said, ?Homage to all the Buddhas.? But a Buddha is complete. It doesn?t need anything. Why give homage to the Buddhas? Zen Master Dae Kwan: You already understand. Q: So I ask you. ZMDK: You?re looking at me, I?m looking at you. Q: Only that? ZMDK: Not enough? Q: Thank you for your teaching. ZMDK: You?re welcome.
Q: You get dharma transmission here at Kye Ryong Sahn. Kye means chicken. Ryong means dragon. What are you going to be, a chicken or a dragon? ZMDK: You already understand. Q: Please teach me. ZMDK: What do you call me? Q: Sifu [Chinese for teacher.] ZMDK: That?s it! Q: Thank you. ZMDK: You?re welcome.
Q: You?re going to be a Zen Master and you took 500 precepts. I only took 10 precepts. Is your teaching going to be a lot better? ZMDK: You already understand. Q: Please teach me. ZMDK: You are my teacher. Q: Only that? ZMDK: Not enough? Q: Thank you for your teaching. ZMDK: You?re welcome.
Q: We?ve known each other for over ten years. You?re my good teacher and also my good friend. Today you?re a Zen Master. So, what kind of relationship do we have now? ZMDK: You already understand. Q: Please teach me. ZMDK: You are my best friend, not only good friend. Q: Thank you.
Q: In his opening speech, Zen Master Dae Bong talked about many transmissions from Buddha. I want to ask one question. Before the ceremony I already knew what you did to become a Zen Master. So, when did you become a Zen Master? ZMDK: You already understand. Q: I?m asking you. ZMDK: What are you doing now? Q: I?m sitting on a cushion and asking a question. ZMDK: Already appear, transmission. Q: Thank you for your teaching. ZMDK: You?re welcome.
