Zen truth, like the laws of Nature, is immutable and eternal, has always and will always exist. Thus, the demand for originality with respect to the truth is a contradiction in terms. That said, beware of quotations of truth ascribed to authority figures. Usually, the sources are offered to increase the value of the truth being claimed. Zen truth stands alone and as such, needs no validation. -- "I am walking on the wire and the wire is what the whole thing is about." -- John Stewart
