The universe in Zen
Dear Nishijima Roshi,
In the Zen tradition does the universe have a beginning or and end? If it has always existed doesn't that conflict with its teachings, since everything that has a beginning has and end and vice versa? Therefore, if this is the case doesn't there have to be a prime mover, so to speak, that set the universe in motion at some point in time?
Thanks,
Nick
