If you have never come across Zen before, it might seem quite perplexing with its apparent contradictions and paradoxes. But if you are ready and willing to commit yourself to the Zen "Way" thenZen is one of the most powerful ways to transform the quality of your life that I have ever come across. If you are not ready, looking into Zen will not make the slightest bit of sense and chances are you will soon quit. Unlike other philosophies Zen is like climbing a huge mountain in which the climb is more important than the destination.
