Daily Zen Quote - November 4, 2013

Conversion is held to come to an essentially depraved Man from an eternal God, while Satori is the realization of one's own inmost nature. Conversion takes place when something comes from outside and transforms the world, while Satori is just seeing the world as it really is, for to Zen the supernatural is natural, while to Christianity it is something not inherent in nature at all.

~Alan Watts
