A. The historical Buddha realised that we sentient beings, compared with what we ought to be, are only half awake, that is, we can see only the realm of form and that we are enjoying just a tiny part of the happiness we deserve.
Zen meditation helps people to develop the latent power to enjoy not only the realm of form but also the realm of Emptiness, the other half of our lives that we possess but habitually fail to use, by leading us to see everything as it is.
