Zen and the Art of
I can’t remember if I read / heard this as a Zen parable, or as something from the Surrealists / dada movement.
Either way, its the same:
The student asked the master, “what is Zen?” (or art, if I have my sources mixed up).
The master kicked a ball into the air.
The student picked up the ball, and kicked it into the air, and said
“This is Zen?” (art?)
The master replied:
“No, that is imitation.”
