Zen: It is not what you think!

"If you are thinking, you can't understand Zen. Anything that can be written in a book, anything that can be said--all this is thinking.

"But if you read with a mind that has cut off all thinking, then Zen books, sutras, and Bibles are all the truth.

"So is the barking of a dog or the crowing of a rooster. All things are teaching you at every moment, and these sounds are even better teaching than Zen books."--Seung Sahn
