Not the Wind, Not the Flag

illustrastion og

Two zen students were arguing about the temple flag waving in the wind. One said, “The flag moves.” The other said, “The wind moves.” They argued back and forth but could not agree.

The teacher said, “It is not the wind that moves; it is not the flag that moves; it is your mind that moves.”
