I have a name for what Zen strives for: ism. Ism is an antiphilosophy, a way of being without thinking. The masters of ism are rocks, trees, clams; but it is the fate of higher animal species to have to strive for ism, without ever being able to attain it fully.
主义是反哲学的，是一种摒弃思维的存在方式。主义的大师是石头、树、蛤蟆。高等动物若想达到主义，就得经过一番奋斗，而且是永远不可能完全达到的。
