    What is the self? When I look, I realize I have no idea what I'm referring to.

      What is the self? When I look, I realize I have no idea what I'm referring to.
      From what I'm told, and it could be misquoted, it's a guy and large clown outfit pacing back and forth.

      To penetrate reality, though reality is boundless.
      To transform all delusion, though delusions are immeasurable.
      To attain the enlightened way, a way non-attainable.

          "What is the self?" is a central question in Soto practice. However, we don't find out only through intellectual means. It is more of a discovery.
