Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?
To Zen, time and eternity are one.
To live - is that not enough?
Implicity, there should be something mysterious in every day.
The mind has first to be attuned to the Unconscious.
Facts of experience are valued in Zen more than representations, symbols, and concepts-that is to say, substance is everything in Zen and form nothing.
