The proper greatness of Zen is that it cannot be reduced to an “inner journey” into one’s “true Self”; for the aim of Zen meditation is, quite on the contrary, a total voiding of the Self, the acceptance that there is no Self, no “inner truth” to be discovered
What Western Buddhism is not ready to accept is thus
that the ultimate victim of the “journey into one’s Self” is this Self itself
