The universe is a pool of intersecting ripples with every micro facet connected to every other, no matter how distant.
In zen, the classification of the world into
this and that, into
me and you, into
me and every other thing creates artificial barriers to understanding and harmony.
Zen rejects classification of everything, including itself. This makes it a very slippery concept.
I hope this helps you understand my little story a few weeks ago,
The Zen of Peg. But then, maybe it is left unexplained. If you think so, please un-read this entry.
