Manseong’s No Cultivation

Jill Bukkai Washburn
One day a nun asked Manseong Sunim, “How do I cultivate the Way of the Buddha?”
“No cultivation,” answered Manseong.
The nun persevered: “How, then, can I obtain release from birth and death?”
“Who chains you to birth and death?” Manseong asked in return.
