The Oneness of Mind and Body

There is a phrase is Zen philosophy referring to “the oneness of mind and body.”

The mind is “the spiritual body,” while the body is “the physical spirit.” To consider the mind and body as separate is abstract thinking.

In Zen, the most important thing is to act. And action is nothing but the physical manifestation of Will.
