What Zen Is About
I found this little gem in one of Thich Nhat Hanh’s books. I was reading this on the beach today, and the full force of what I’m practicing hit me with the utmost simplicity and clarity.
As one old zen saying puts it: “Before practicing Zen, rivers were rivers and mountains were mountains. When I practiced Zen, I saw that rivers were no longer rivers and mountains no longer mountains. Now I see that rivers are again rivers and mountains are again mountains”
