What means wooh! Or 'wu'! As in the Penny Drop? What is the key concept of zen?

From:   http://sped2work.tripod.com/satori.html#N1000

"Satori is the spiritual goal of Zen Buddhism (in Chinese: wu). It is a key concept in Zen. Whether it comes to you suddenly seemingly out of nowhere as found in the Enlightenment process called Aparka Marg, or after an undetermined passage of time centered around years of intense study and meditation as with the female Zen adept Chiyono, or after forty unrelenting years as with the Buddha's brother Ananda, there can be no Zen without that which has come to be called Satori. As long as there is Satori, then Zen will continue to exist in the world."

Do you know what the name Wuh then stands for?

Do you know what Lax stands for? Salmon! And salmon stands for knowledge or brain power and eating salmon makes you wise.

Wuh in the zen tradition and Lax in the British tradition are the same thing. Hence the name of my character Wuh Lax in my series of books. East meets west!

Woohs Blogspot focuses on woohs the lightning or energy of light, or enlightenment that motion is intended to reveal. No motion no light! 

Light nevertheless is motionless without energy or mass and yet quantifiable and able to occupy the same space over and over again. 

Light is timeless and is the product of the sun, which mankind has worshipped for millennia. 

The god of light is Baal, the sun god, or Bel. 

Woohs stream at http://woohs.blogspot.com taps into many streams of thought and action. There is no end to motion, just evolution and unrelenting change, seen or unseen. Energy is motion both in reality and calculation. Take time to rest even though all inside you is always moving. Your massive relative pause gives opportunity for other smaller streams to catch up. Take time to meditate so that you can see with your mind what lies within and beyond.

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
