Travis Briggs<p>I told my wife that my understanding of Zen is that it's basically just realizing you're one with the universe. She suggested that it's like _The Secret_, that when you're enlightened you can manifest things with your mind. </p><p>I replied that it's actually the opposite. The secret is an extreme form of "grasping". That if you try and try and believe hard enough, you can make something happen. Zen is like, everything is going to happen or not happen, that's it. </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/zen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zen</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/buddhism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>buddhism</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/thoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thoughts</span></a></p>

Travis Briggs<p>I'm reading Alan Watts, _The Way of Zen_, and he's talking about how the words, ideas etc of conventional discourse are anthetical to understanding ultimate reality.
