Zen Circle

Zen can be explained through a ⭕. There are 5 points on the circle. Let's see how each point answers if a 📚 is different from a 🖊️:

  • O°: you start from full attachment and suffering. The book and pencil are different.
  • 90°: no more thinking. The book is the pencil and the pencil is the book.
  • 180°: True emptiness. There are no words to describe the objects.
  • 270°: freedom. The book is angry and the pencil sings.
  • 360°: all things are just how they are. The truth is like this. The book is red, the pencil is yellow.

The zen circle starts from full suffering and ends in the same place with full embrace of the truth. You start with forms based on attachments and you end up with forms but not based on attachment but love.
