The experience leads to a new state of being, which leaves behind the limits of desire. This stretches far across cultures. This notion, so central to Buddhist thought, could offer a bridge between the Nietzschean western and the eastern ways of seeking insight into the fundamental awareness of existence. Nietzsche's idea leads to radical experience. Past and future meet.
Countable time is annihilated and simultaneously affirmed.
Nihilism is to the Nietzschean what pain and suffering, caused by grasping-desiring, are to the Zen person. Both are put down or overcome not by extrinsic doctrine but by an inward experience, felt at the core of one's being, including but going beyond one's rational powers. He identifies two conditions. This gives us a correspondence between the two projects in search of a right reckoning of human experience. Zen thinks in terms of a realization of the state of things in a moment of insight, which leaps beyond the boundaries of intellectual endeavor and the rigors of dutiful meditation and discipline.
