Quote of the Day:
Although the Essence of Zen may be impossible to capture in words, it doesn’t mean that we cannot discuss Zen. In fact, it can be immensely helpful to discuss Zen — what it is, and what it isn’t. On that note, it is important to keep in mind that language is an external representation of what we perceive or experience — often times used to denote and describe past events. And because language cannot ever describe the true essence of our existence and our experience of it, we are forced to use signs and symbols in an effort to express something that is very much inexpressible. Thus, no matter what we say, it will always be limited and insufficient to capture the essence that can only be experienced directly — this is especially true with everything Zen related. You see, words can only point to the direct experience which goes beyond any words and definitions. Language can only convey an idea of what direct experiencing is like and what it isn’t; experiencing reality just-as-it-is means that it has to be expressed in daily life — not in words, ideas or concepts.
