Zen and The Martial Arts
"Mind Over Body"
Zen Master Kyung Hur(1849-1912)and his
disciple Man Kong (1871-1946)had been
traveling under the hot Korean sun for over a
month before they reached the base of a steep
mountain. Their destination was a village on
the other side. Man Kong slumped silently to
the ground and buried his head in his hands.
What is the matter with you? questioned the
Master. Sir, I can't take another step,
replied Man Kong. The Master spotted a farmer
and his wife working in the nearby cotten
field. Without disturbing Man Kong, the Master
approached the wife and kissed her a few
times.
Instantly the farmer was filled with rage.
He grabbed his sickle and began chasing the
Master. The Master ran toward Man Kong
screaming, brother run, we are in trouble!
The farmer turned on Man Kong swinging his
sickle wildly.
Man Kong ran toward the mountain and stopped
only when he reached the top. The Master was
already at the top laughing. As Man Kong
fought to catch his breath the Master asked
him, are you still too tired to take another
step?
I was only thinking of my head, gasped Man
Kong. They both laughed and started on their
descent down toward the village.........
