What is Zen?

Zen is when you no longer ask "what is Zen".

Zen is when you no longer follow the book to define what Zen is.

Zen is when the whole bunch of people throwing stones at you and you still have no idea who they're throwing stones at.

Zen is something for you to condemn, criticize, question, and laugh at, with your duality-based scientific logical analysis, when you have not entered into the realm of Zen.

Zen is like an apple dropping down from the tree and Newton is science.

Zen is when we fully responsible for every single activity that we have done in our daily life. But it is hard to be accomplished if we're living in the monetary society because the money that we've paid for a specific item might not be equal to the effort that we've invested in order to gain that specific item, sometimes more, sometimes less. When maximizing profit is to minimize costs and maximize revenue, we're actually trying to minimize our responsibility (cost) and maximize what we wanted to gain (profit), for example, reducing the item quality and charge for the same or higher price. This is how monetary system introduce karma accumulation to humanity.
