Lire à haute voix un "conte Zen", c'est restituer un climat, recréer les conditions originelles. Nous voici revenus aux temps anciens, sur la place du village aux pieds d'un Maitre Zen de passage. Voici que dans le soir qui vient, nous sommes à nouveau touchés par la passion, le timbre singulier, la magie, la paix d'une voix, attentifs à l'inflexion d'un sourire, bouleversés par le rythme des phrases, la force du discours, l'enchantement des images, conscients du silence... et se brise le mur de nos refus.

Depuis l'origine, le conte Zen est un "moyen habile", un chemin privilégié pour accéder à la connaissance du Zen. Je n'ai inventé aucun des récits qui sont présentés ici. J'ai feuilleté des dizaines de livres et j'ai puisé dans la mémoire ancestrale de l'Inde, du Japon, de la Chine, du Tibet. Mon propos fut de rendre accessible le conte brut venu d'ailleurs, sans que le Zen y perde son âme.
