When one has walked a long way to reach the turning in the path that discloses an anticipated view, and that view appears, there is always a vibration of the landscape. It is repeated in the walker’s body. The harmony of the two presences, like two strings in tune, each feeding off the vibration of the other, is like an endless relaunch. Eternal Recurrence is the unfolding in a continuous circle of the repetition of those two affirmations, the circular transformation of the vibration of the presences. The walker’s immobility facing that of the landscape … it is the very intensity of that co-presence that gives birth to an indefinite circularity of exchanges: I have always been here, tomorrow, contemplating this landscape.

About This Quote

In the Zen tradition Zen is a way of life. It is a way to live your everyday life. In other words, you can pick up a Zen book and start practicing it straight away. You can’t do that with a religion or a philosophy.

If you’re going to be a Buddhist it means you have to observe certain rules and regulations, for instance, you have to meditate every day for an hour. You have to do certain things that are not related to your everyday life. Sometimes I feel that Buddhism is like a religion, but I don’t think it should be considered as such because it is not a religion but a way of life.

Buddhism teaches us how to live our daily lives, which is something very important if we want to follow this path and achieve nirvana.
