Through six days of dialogue with the Zen master, Kyōko gradually comes to understand enlightenment not as an abstract concept, but as a living, transformative experience in everyday life.102Please respect copyright.PENANAlyyoKDy3Ni
She discovers that awakening is not confined to Zen alone, but resonates with the wisdom of Laozi, Jesus, and seekers of truth across cultures and ages.
Rather than offering fixed answers or doctrine, this story invites readers to quietly reflect on the nature of consciousness, self, and awakening.
