Zen is like chemistry
In chemistry, anybody can go out into the yard and grab a handful of dirt. Examine its components. Name them and craft descriptive models. Our tools are microscopes, scales, heat and solvents. Anybody can do this. Right now. No book required.
In Zen, instead of dirt we have awareness. Anybody can examine awareness. Its play and habits. Phenomena like attention and distraction. Our tools are meditation. Concentration and its opposite. Anybody can do this. Right now. No book required.
If you do this, even just a little, then you will be a Master.
