Learning of Non-Learning

 

A frustrated monk asked the Master, “Shifu, it seems to take forever to learn everything necessary to help all beings. What can I do?” The Master responded, “When one understands the learning of non-learning, then one’s learning is perfect and complete!’ He continued, “Out of compassion, we never cease learning. To learn is to practice concentration and diligence; it is a blessing.  Beyond learning, we also need to understand the principle of non-learning.”
