In this Zen tale, a curious disciple approaches his master in a serene Zen garden, and asks about the ultimate truth. The master’s response, /”Look at the moon. But do not mistake the finger pointing to it for the moon itself,/” may be perplexing at first, but it is full of wisdom. With the use of metaphors, the master helps the disciple understand that teachings and concepts are mere pointers to guide us toward deeper truths. In order to truly grasp the ultimate truth, one must look beyond the finger, that is, the concepts, and direct their attention to the moon, that is, the direct experience and inner realization. Let this Zen tale remind you to seek the truth it reveals, and not attach yourself to the finger that points to it.
