我不識字
在一座藏經樓上，有一禪者在裡面從不看經，每日只管打坐，於是管理藏經樓的藏主，就問道：
「大德每天打坐，為何不看經呢？」
禪者坦誠的回答道：「因為我不識字。」
藏主道：「為什麼不請教人呢？」
禪者反問道：「要請教誰呢？」
藏主不客氣的道：「你可向我請教呀！」
禪者起立、作禮、合掌詢問道：「請問這個是甚麼？」
藏主經這一問，無言以對，因為「這個」意指自性，究竟是甚麼東西呢？
禪宗不立語言文字，因為語言文字不能表達自性真如的本來面目。藏經樓上的禪者，雖不看經，卻能老實修行，每日只管打坐。禪不限於文字，只要認真參究，廓然貫通，一樣可以悟出本來面目。

In a Buddhist scriptures building, there is a Zen monk never read the scriptures and he just sit in meditation everyday.
於是管理藏經樓的藏主，就問道：「大德每天打坐，為何不看經呢？」
Therefore, the manager of the Buddhist scriptures building asked the Zen monk,” Why you sit in meditation everyday without reading the scriptures?”
禪者坦誠的回答道：「因為我不識字。」
The Zen monk answered frankly,” I am an illiterate.”
藏主道：「為什麼不請教人呢？」
The manager said,”Why do not you consult someone?”
禪者反問道：「要請教誰呢？」
The Zen monk asked in reply, “Who may I consult?”
藏主不客氣的道：「你可向我請教呀！」
The manager said generously, “I can consult for you!”
禪者起立、作禮、合掌詢問道：「請問這個是甚麼？」
The Zen monk stood up, saluted, put his palms together and asked, “How should I call these actions?”
藏主經這一問，無言以對，因為「這個」意指自性，究竟是甚麼東西呢？
After he asked the question, the manager have nothing to say in reply, because these, the actions that the Zen monk have done, means soul. However what is soul actually?

Zen does not depend upon words and letters because the words and letters can not convey the true feature of the invariable principle and nature.
Although the zenners in the building which store up the scripture never read the scripture , they can still truly practice Buddhist and just sit in meditation everyday.
Zen is not limited in the words and letters. If we study hard and link up the principle of the scripture , we can also grasp thoroughly the true feature.

In an attic of Buddhist literature, there is a Zen inside. He zazens every day. Thereupon, a manager of the attic asked:” why you zazen day after day, but don’t read Buddhist scriptures?”
禪者坦誠的回答道：「因為我不識字。」
The Zen replied honestly:” It’s because I am an illiterate.”
藏主道：「為什麼不請教人呢？」
The manager said:” Who don’t you come to somebody for advice? ”
禪者反問道：「要請教誰呢？」
The Zen asked:” Who I ask for advice?”
藏主不客氣的道：「你可向我請教呀！」
The manager said unreservedly:” You can ask me!”
禪者起立、作禮、合掌詢問道：「請問這個是甚麼？」
The Zen rise, bow, place the two palms together, and then asked, “Could you tell me what this action means?”
藏主經這一問，無言以對，因為「這個」意指自性，究竟是甚麼東西呢？
The manager was speechless by the Zen’s asking because “the action” means self-nature. What on earth does this action mean?

Zen doesn’t create language and characters. They can’t express the true feature of the nature. Although the Zen doesn’t read Buddhist scriptures, they can practice honestly. They only zazen everyday. Meditation is beyond words. As long as you can think it through, you will be able to realize what it really is.

「大德每天打坐，為何不看經呢？」
There is a meditator in a Buddhist scriptures building(scriptorium). He never reads the scripture but sits in meditative silence every day. Therefore, the administrator of scriptures building asks him, “Why do you just sit every day instead of reading the scripture?”
禪者坦誠的回答道：「因為我不識字。」
The Zen monk answered honestly, "Because I am an illiterate."
藏主道：「為什麼不請教人呢？」
The manager of the sutra depository, "Why don't you consult someone?"
禪者反問道：「要請教誰呢？」
The Zen replied, "Who should I ask?"
藏主不客氣的道：「你可向我請教呀！」
The administrator said unkindly,”You can ask me for advice!”

The meditator stood up, bow, to put the palms together and asked, “ What do these motions mean?”

After he asked, the owner has nothing to say in reply. Because “this” means humanity, but what exactly is it?

Zen did not found words and language, because words and language can not express the true of humanity. Although the Zen who is in sutra depository doesn’t read sutra, he can practice Buddhist teaching honestly and only care about za-zen every day. Zen isn’t limited to writing. Study it hard and digest it, and you also can grasp the original meaning.

After his question,the supervisor had nothing to say.“This”means self-nature,but what does it actually mean?

A Zen doesn’t need a language or a word because words cannot express what self-nature real is.The Zen who is in the sutra building can honestly practice Buddhist even though he doesn’t read the sutra and only focus on sitting in meditation everyday.We just need to practice seriously and try to understand then we can also realize the truth because Zen is not limited in words.

「大德每天打坐，為何不看經呢？」
There was a Zen monk in a scriptorium who meditated as zazen everyday but never read the scriptures; therefore, the manager of the scriptorium asked him, "why do you always sit in meditation but never read the scriptures?"
禪者坦誠的回答道：「因為我不識字。」
“ That is because I am an illiteracy,” said the Zen monk in plainspokenness.
藏主道：「為什麼不請教人呢？」
“ Why don’t you consult with somebody?” asked the manager of the scriptorium.
禪者反問道：「要請教誰呢？」
“ Whom?” asked the Zen monk in reply.
藏主不客氣的道：「你可向我請教呀！」
“ Me!” the manager said candidly.

The Zen monk stood up, saluted, put the palms together and asked, “Then what does this mean?”

Owing to the question the manager couldn’t respond. How could he clarify the act which is spiritual?

Zen don’t develop languages and words because they can’t express the original implication. Although the Zen monk in the scriptorium never read the scriptures, he
lived up to practice moral teachings and sat in meditation everyday. Zen is not just limited by words, you will digest its spirit by comprehending it thoroughly.
