WHAT
IS ZEN?
"Lightning flashes,
Sparks shower,
In one blink of your eyes,
You have missed seeing."
A Hindu
story tells of a fish who asked of another fish: "I have always
heard about the sea, but what is it? Where is it?"
The
other fish replied: "You live, move and have your being the
sea. The sea is within you and without you, and you are made of sea,
and you will end in sea. The sea surrounds you as your own
being."
So the
only true answer to the question "What is Zen?" is the one
that you find for yourself.
