Buddha is immense and immovable, and pervades all the universes. In comparison, the vast sky is but a tiny grain floating in the middle of a boundless sea.
Buddha is eternal. Buddha existed before the universes and will exist long after the universes. And since Buddha is always everywhere, the past is the future and the future is the present.
Buddha’s powers are immeasurably mysterious, and Buddha appears in unlimited forms according to requirements. Buddha never rests in the quest to benefit all.
Buddha’s light is profound beyond the scope of our imaginations. In comparison, the light from zillions of suns and moons would amount to less than of a single candle in broad daylight.
– Ven. Song Chol (Seong Cheol) (1912~1993), one of the great Zen masters in the last century, was also called the Living Buddha of Korea
