Alan Watts Quotes, Long Quotes, Effort Quotes

Hence it is an experience which generally occurs after a long and concentrated effort to discover the meaning of Zen.

So long as we see this universe before us, with its forms and shapes, we are all idolaters. This is a gigantic symbol we are worshipping. He who says he is the body is a born idolater.
