Ah, Grasshopper, there is your mistake. Zen has no inherant meaning. It simply IS, just as everything else simply IS. One studies Zen for no other reason than to study Zen. It is the wrong path to believe there is some difference between "man" and "nature." This is dualistic thinking. There is only "the One." Man IS nature.
