Zen is not intentionally elitist. What makes it seem so is that Zen makes no bargains with our humanity. Zen insists upon a transformation of being that indulges no intermediate dallying. I have described it as the emergence of a butterfly from its chrysalis. In a time when both animals were beasts of burden Yung-ming (d-975) put it as "from the womb of a cow an elephant is born"
Simply let consciousness contemplate Awareness.
