Arthur Koestler Quotes
Zen Is To Religion What A Japanese "rock Garden" Is To A Garden. Zen Knows No God, No Afterlife, No Good And No Evil, As The Rock-garden Knows No Flowers, Herbs Or Shrubs. It Has No Doctrine Or Holy Writ: Its Teaching Is Transmitted Mainly In The Form Of Parables As Ambiguous As The Pebbles In The Rock-garden Which Symbolise Now A Mountain, Now A Fleeting Tiger. When A Disciple Asks "What Is Zen?", The Master's Traditional Answer Is "Three Pounds Of Flax" Or "A Decaying Noodle" Or "A Toilet Stick" Or A Whack On The Pupil's Head.
