What is Love? I. ~ “You ask me: I ask you."

What is Love? I.

 

 

"One evening, after a Dharma talk at the Cambridge Zen Center, a student asked Seung Sahn Soen Sa, “What is love?”

Soen-sa said, “I ask you, what is love?”

The student was silent.

Soen-sa said, “This is love.”

The student was still silent.

Soen-sa said, “You ask me:  I ask you. - This is love.” ( Dropping Ashes on the Buddha – The Teaching of Zen Master Seung Sahn, 100. What is Love?, 232 )
