I have been reading about Zen philosophy on the internet. I am in a Motel 6 (Pets free!) and really enjoying the WiFi. Having read more than my little mind can absorb, I have decided that some things are lost in translation. 'No' in Japanese must have implications too subtle to jump the Pacific. Endless discussions on duality etc. My solution for all this is to translate 'no' as 'ah' and 'emptiness' as 'ha'.If a dog is a sentient being, can it achieve nirvana? I say ah, meaningless question. Why expend energy? All fades and flourishes, slips and slides from being to nothingness and around.
