"Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about it while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes." - Alan Watts
The Zen tradition reveals enrichment in writings, sayings, poetry, and sutras. While they may not bring us to enlightenment, words do provide a taste of what Zen's attraction offers to the world.
A focus on the moment leads us to the simplest of lessons.
The truth is right in your hand.
The potato. Peel it.
Zen transmits wisdom by doing.
