More From Tony Kushner

Inside every one of us is a garden, and every practitioner has to go back to their garden and take care of it. maybe in the past, you left in untended for a long time. you should know exactly what is going on in your own garden, and try to put everything in order. restore the beauty; restore the harmony in your garden. if it is well tended, many people will enjoy your garden.
Garden Past Order
You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

Zen is to religion what a japanese "rock garden" is to a garden. zen knows no god, no afterlife, no good and no evil, as the rock-garden knows no flowers, herbs or shrubs. it has no doctrine or holy writ: its teaching is transmitted mainly in the form of parables as ambiguous as the pebbles in the rock-garden which symbolise now a mountain, now a fleeting tiger. when a disciple asks "what is zen?", the master's traditional answer is "three pounds of flax" or "a decaying noodle" or "a toilet stick" or a whack on the pupil's head.

Once in those very early days my brother brought into the nursery the lid of a biscuit tin which he had covered with moss and garnished with twigs and flowers so as to make it a toy garden or a toy forest. that was the first beauty i ever knew. what the real garden had failed to do, the toy garden did. it made me aware of nature-not, indeed, as a storehouse of forms and colors but as something cool, dewy, fresh, exuberant....as long as i live my imagination of paradise will retain something of my brother's toy garden.

If, i can someday see m. claude monet's garden, i feel sure that i shall see something that is not so much a garden of flowers as of colours and tones, less an old-fashioned flower garden than a colour garden, so to speak, one that achieves an effect not entirely nature's, because it was planted so that only the flowers with matching colours will bloom at the same time, harmonized in an infinite stretch of blue or pink.

The impious soul, however, punishes itself by seeking a human body to enter into, for no other body can receive a human soul; it cannot enter the body of an animal devoid of reason. divine law preserves the human soul from such infamy... the soul passeth from form to form; and the mansions of her pilgrimage are manifold. thou puttest off thy bodies as raiment; and as vesture dost thou fold them up. thou art from old, o soul of man; yea, thou art from everlasting.

The decor bowled me over. everywhere i looked, there was something more to see. botanical prints, a cross section of pomegranates, a passionflower vine and its fruit. stacks of thick books on art and design and a collection of glass paperweights filled the coffee table. it was enormously beautiful, a sensibility i'd never encountered anywhere, a relaxed luxury. i could feel my mother's contemptuous gaze falling on the cluttered surfaces, but i was tired of three white flowers in a glass vase. there was more to life than that.
