禅这个字很难解释,它是一种智慧,而且有着非常深非常广的意义。我来说一个小故事吧,看你能不能明白。达摩是中国禅宗祖师,有一天他问自己的弟子:一滴水怎样才能不干涸?弟子们想来想去啊,都回答不出。

This word is very difficult to explain. It's a kind of way of approaching things. It's both very deep and very broad. I'll tell you a story and see if you understand. Once there was a Chan master named Bodhidharma. One day he asked his pupils, 'How could a single drop of water never dry up'? His pupils thought about it long and hard, but none of them could come up with an answer.
