EAT ZEN - EVERYMAN'S A TO ZEN - is the author's own journey of events and encounters with others. It invites the reader to piece together the jigsaw of his own pilgrimage via the cultivated concious awareness of zen, to see the universe as the origin and context of his being. For without man - its eyes and ears - the universe itself need not exist. This is the role of Man-to-be, should he survive the long search for some thing to believe that he already knows, and that could take him on to fulfil that universal role.
