Morning meditation — What is the most tormenting thing in this world?

‘Tung-Shan asked, “What is the most tormenting thing in this world?”
“Hell is the most tormenting thing,” answered the monk.
“Not so. When that which is draped in these robe threads is unaware of the Great Matter, that I call the most tormenting thing”.’

On our Twitter account, Buddhism Now @Buddhism_Now, most mornings we post a ‘morning meditation’ like the one above.

On the net, of course, it’s morning, afternoon, evening, or night-time 😀 somewhere.
