In the eye of Zen the most practical is the most abstruse and vice versa

We are not deaf, dumb or blind but do we hear, speak or see?

Here is no logic, no philosophizing; here is no twisting of facts to suit our artificial measures; here is no murdering of human nature in order to submit it to intellectual dissections

The meaning of the proposition “A is A” is realized only when “A is not A” .

To understand the east we must understand mysticism, that is Zen

People more or less conceptually consider Zen utterly absurd and ludicrous or deliberately making itself unintelligible in order to guard its apparent profundity against outside criticism
