ZEN

Zen is a matter of life and death, the one who is not willing to "cave in his skin" better do something else. In fact, doing zazen is like dying, only then does it have meaning. It is a death that does not involve a coffin, but the body (and the ego) becomes the coffin.

We misinterpret the message of the senses: The eyes are NOT open windows to the world that is out there and I am here ... just like the other senses. The senses show us what we are, "what" we are. What we see is ME in the broadest sense of the word. I am existence and existence is ME. There is no separate and separate being. The mandate is to come to awaken (enlightenment) to that truth and live it as a reality (save all beings) ... (Because ... complete you). But it is not a matter of understanding it rationally (this only adds to the confusion). It is about making our mind "see" and "assume" the truth directly through the practice of zazen. Zen is direct and wordless transmission. Without this we are trying to feed ourselves by reading the restaurant menu."
