Greetings,
A Finger Pointing at the Moon…Christianity or Zen.
What I have experienced on my journey is that Christianity and Zen are but
fingers pointing to the truth. I came into Zen after following Christianity
most of my life. I found the Truth to be hidden deeply in Christianity and it
wasn’t until I came to Zen that I could understand it. I believe there are
prophets for the day and there is a religion for different cultures, but they
are all fingers pointing to the truth. We have to discover the Truth ourselves.
This verse comes to my mind
For the creative imagination to be particularly active,
the water must be fetched,
and drunk fresh from the spring
if it is to flow through us
and quicken our hidden mythological talents.
