Zen is the unsymbolization of the world.

Any enlightenment which requires to be authenticated, certified, recognized, congratulated, is (as yet) a false, or at least incomplete one.

Regarding R. H. Blyth: Two men who may be called pillars of the Western haiku movement, Harold G. Henderson and R. H. Blyth. . . .

A thief running away like mad from a ferocious watch-dog may be a splendid example of Zen.

Zen is the unsymbolization of the world.

Or, to express this in another way, suggested to me by Professor Suzuki, in connection with seeing into our own nature, poetry is the something that we see, but the seeing and the something are one; without the seeing there is no something, no something, no seeing. There is neither discovery nor creation: only the perfect, indivisible experience.

The love of nature is religion, and that religion is poetry; these three things are one thing. This is the unspoken creed of haiku poets.
