With all of its age-old power and wisdom, all its experience and deep compassion, Zen wants you to find yourself. Zen actively wants you to achieve happiness and be content with your life. Enlightenment is the goal, it is the future, but just deciding to take the right steps, just facing the right direction, can have a powerful impact on today, on how you live your life every moment from now on. There can be no doubt that Zen can be applied to any life – Zen can be entered by anyone, anywhere – and I’m convinced that the application will always be beneficial, since Zen begins and ends at the most human level, with how people think of themselves and others. The first decision is to simply let Zen help you, let it do what it is designed to do. And that isn’t hard. The only requirement is you yourself: You are all that you will ever need to begin.
