If you've wandered here wanting to know what Zen is, then more than 
likely you will come away disappointed. This is a question that is 
easily asked but not easily answered. A Hindu story tells of a fish 
who asked of another fish: "I have always heard about the sea, but 
what is it? Where is it?" The other fish replied: "You live, move and 
have your being in the sea. The sea is within you and without you, 
and you are made of sea, and you will end in sea. The sea surrounds 
you as your own being." The only true answer is the one that you find 
for youself.

Sparks shower,
In one blink of your eyes,
You have missed seeing.

Thousands of roads enter it.
When one passes through this gateless gate
He walks freely between heaven and earth."
