The Idea Of Zen Is To Catch Life As It Flows

The idea of Zen is to catch life as it flows.

There is nothing extraordinary or mysterious about Zen.

I raise my hand;

I take a book from the other side of the desk;

I hear the boys playing ball outside my window;

I see the clouds blown away beyond the neighboring wood — in all these I am practicing Zen,

I am living Zen.

No wordy discussion is necessary, nor any explanation…

When the sun rises the whole world dances with joy and everybody’s heart is filled with bliss.

If Zen is at all conceivable, it must be taken hold of here.

— D. T. Suzuki
