"If in every mind burns a flame of the Buddha's Enlightenment,"
Christmas Humphreys writes in his foreword to The Wisdom of the Zen
Masters, "there is nothing to seek and nothing to acquire. We are
enlightened, and all the words in the world will not give us what
we already have. The man of Zen, therefore, is concerned with one
thing only, to become aware of what he already is..." The task of
the Japanese Zen master has been to guide his pupils in their
awakening. The means used vary--from severe physical discipline to
the proposition of enigmatic riddles, or koans--but always to the
same end, Enlightenment: experiencing the Great Death of the
worldly "I."
