Zen can make us feel as if we have returned to childhood—returning home on a winter day filled with wind and snow, embracing the warmth of our mother's arms, feeling deeply cared for, tranquil, and comfortable. "A Zen Bed in the Vast World," the nature of Zen, allows us to effortlessly break free from constraints, gain a new self-awareness, see through life, understand living, and experience another way of existence. "One Taste of Zen, Ten Thousand Books," the essence of Zen, enables us to, through profound reflection, unconsciously eliminate bad habits from daily life, reveal our true selves, and transform and refine our thoughts. It opens and expands our wisdom, allowing us to "live clearly, live brilliantly, and live with peace and ease."
