"To define Zen is difficult. To define is to limit to make a neat conceptual package that abstracts from the whole and gives only part of the picture. This would not capture Zen, for it is rooted in our deepest life flow and deals with the facts of unfettered experience. The non-conceptual nature of Zen is apparent in the catch phrases that became popular in Sung China. Zen trainees took their cues from such expressions as: 1) 'No dependence on words and letters'; 2) 'A special transmission outside the classified teachings'; 3) 'Direct pointing to the mind of man'; and 4) 'Seeing the mind is becoming the Buddha.'"
