What is Zen?

"Before you study Zen, a bowl is a bowl and tea is tea.  While you are studying Zen, a bowl is no longer a bowl and tea is no longer tea.  After you've studied Zen, a bowl is again a bowl and tea is tea"  

                                      -----Zen saying

 

"Zen teaches nothing; it merely enables us to wake up and become aware.  It does not teach, it points.

                                      -----D. T. Suzuki

 

"Zen is to have the heart and soul of a little child"

                                      -----Takuan
