To Zen, time and eternity are one.
The waters are in motion, but the moon retains its serenity.
The intuitive recognition of the instant, thus reality is the highest act of wisdom.
The truth of Zen is the truth of life, and life means to live, to move, to act, not merely to reflect.
When we start to feel anxious or depressed, instead of asking, "What do I need to get to be happy?" The question becomes, "What am I doing to disturb the inner peace that I already have?"
Zen approaches it from the practical side of life-that is, to work out Enlightenment in life itself.
