From Alan Watts "Buddhism as Dialogue Part 1"
2.2.5 Buddhism as Dialogue Part 1 - Alan Watts Organization
"So there’s nothing about Zen discipline which is masochistic. It isn’t to beat your body because your body is bad and the creation of the devil or something has nothing to do with that it is how to be comfortable under all circumstances."
"Your soul is the whole universe - your body is inside your soul."
"Zen ... a philosophy of not making where one is going so much more important than where one is now (in the eternal now.)"
"The perfection of Zen is to be perfectly and simply human. The difference from the ordinary run of men is that the latter are in one way or another at odds with their own humanity."
