Re: Zen Buddhism
a man came to a village seeking a particular master. he was led to him and very bluntly said "i want to learn the way to enlightenment, and understand the zen of the tao". the master took a moment and said "go work in the garden". days turned into months and after 2 years the man had to confront the master. after being shown the way he again said, w/out explanation, "i have been working in the garden for 2 years, my head is filled w/ confusion, and when i am able to think i realize i know far less than when i came here". the master took a few moments to think and then said, "go work in the garden"............b
