¿Qué es Zen?

Zen es esto.

¿Qué es Zazen?

Zazen es  perfectamente tú y es todo en la vida y nada en la vida.

¿Qué pasa ahora?

Esto es él.

One of my favorite Buddhist stories so far is the story of Buddha and the man with eighty-three problems. 

A man comes to Buddha asking for help. The man then goes on to tell Buddha about eighty-three problems in his life. Thinking that Buddha will help ease these problems. 

The Buddha replies with a simple, "I cannot help you with these eighty-three problems."
At this the man is enraged. "What do you mean you cannot help me with these problems! You are Buddha!"

Buddha: "I can help you with your eighty-fourth problem."

Man: "What eighty-fourth problem?"

Buddha smiles and says, "Your eighty-fourth problem is that you wish not to have the other eighty-three."

Night.
