I use the word experience here because it is not an intellectual pursuit, but a way of living that assists in developing a greater ability to experience living in the here and now, and not just in our concepts. Indeed you can have a professor or an illiterate experiencing the profundities of Zen on an equal footing. Those who have come into contact with Zen and practised its disciplines discover that their lives are never quite the same afterwards. Thanks for reading. It's about making a distinction between becoming obsessive and Zen focus.
Obsession is total attachment.
