What is Zen?

October 17th 2007 11:15
Sea

One answer:
Inayat Khan tells a Hindu story of a fish who went to a queen fish and asked: "I have always heard about the sea, but what is this sea? Where is it?"
The queen fish explained: "You live, move and have your being in 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."

Another answer:
............................. ............................. ............................. ............................. ............................. ............................. ............................. ............................. ............................. ............................. ........

Fishes live in rivers and lakes and are not aware of it. Humans live in the realm of Tao and are oblivious of it." People live in the sea of Zen, yet do not know the nature of Zen
