Yes, "Seung Sahn", but why so MUCH coming and going... no flat moutain peak to stand on and catch my breath. I'm too busy clawing up/sliding down the crumbly mountain face to see any of the beautiful view... so won't clear mind help me briefly be the mountain, and have a view of the whole process/climbing/clawing and the beautiful heavens and valley meeting at the spot of the climber? And then send this glimpse to the climber so he can take heart in the ceaseless struggle?

Sometimes clouds come and cover it, but the moon is always behind them. Clouds go away, then the moon shines brightly. So don't worry about clear mind; it is always there. When thinking comes, behind it is a clear mind. When thinking goes there is only clear mind. Thinking comes and goes, comes and goes, you must not be attached to the coming or the going."
