CHAPTER EIGHT

Golfing to Extremes

The thing about Zen is that it pushes contradictions to their ultimate limit where one has to choose between madness and innocence. And Zen suggests that we may be driving toward one or the other on a cosmic scale.

—Thomas Merton, Zen and the Birds of Appetite

Sometimes people who emerge from nirvana precipitately … become mentally unstable or even deranged. This is one source of the eccentricity known in technical literature as “crazy Zen.”

—Thomas Chary, No Barrier: Unlocking the Zen Koan
