Seon Buddhism seeks spiritual guidance

This is a fascinating, deeply enlightening discussion on the topic of Seon Buddhism.  It is an "aspect" of widespread and varied Buddhist practices and spiritual beliefs. The philosophy is absolutely beautiful in my opinion. Read it and be inspired, no matter what your belief system may be.

"Ganhwaseon has unique characteristics of Korean Seon Buddhism by giving a short, clear answer to questions about the quest of truth and suggests a way to live in confidence with freedom."

"Religion in any kind has influenced human beings in many ways. The current civilization built up through science and technology is at the peak of development at a stunning pace in the human history. All these achievements are possible because of the role of religion."

I have to cite one more paragraph from this most excellent article as follows:

"The meditation is making people open their eyes to the values of human beings regardless of religion. The religion shouldn’t be a purpose. We should ask the core nature of religion."

This last sentence alone is an eye opener for me.
