The very first lesson in zen would be what zen is. It is not a religion, but is closely related to Buddhism as it is being shared by people within that religion when it first started.
You and many others would ask, what is zen and what has it got to do with us.
As the first 2 lesson within Zen Speaks (Ebay, Cheung (interzone)) says, being aware of what is around you, it is part of you and me and we are just part of this world. We are same and we maybe different.
We maybe different as we have change through time we have spend in this world and picked up different experience and become who we are today.
We are same because if you look at us from another perspective, we would fall under these " You > Human > Mammal > Living Organism > Part of Earth ". We are just one but we are also part of a larger group.
We should not just look at ourselves and not be aware of what is around us and learn from it as they might be teachings that you should pick up. A teaching that you could relate to and would allow you to understand who you are and proof of your existence.
