Before you begin training in
enlightenment, a bowl is a bowl
and tea is tea. During training,
a bowl is not a bowl, and tea is
not tea. After training in enlightenment,
a bowl is a bowl
and tea is tea.

If you have to ask...
When people from near an edge west
on a huge land mass went to a near edge of
the very same land mass before hopping on over
to land on a land they eyed across a strait or a sea,
they took their names, philosophy and religion and
saw phenomena going on there, in the east.
Dhyana from India had already taken root in a land
which Bodhidharma found fertile enough and there
a form formed known as Channa or Chan after it
got filtered through the Chuang-tzu aka Tao Chia.
Apparently the Chia, aka, Schools of Thought, in
what could be thought to be China today yet was not
during the daze when confused historians decided to create
and discriminate folk-religion from the 100 Schools as they
saw fit, being scholars of history at the time.
When blended, almost 1,000 years after the Tao Chia
or Tao-School of Thought was created by historians of
the so-called Han Dynasty, and after Chan moved on
and found or took root on an island to eye that land
through eyes of Zen, could be said to have bin done.
Some modern scholars may contest there never was,
in the practice of regular people a division of what are
called and known as philosophy and religion, ever.
Yet if one were to tell that to Han historians they
may differ and see the 100 Schools as being philosophy
as much as any other schools of thought were and arghh.
- for the time beings ... Cheers!

Even that much is already more philosophy than the world needs.

Empirically speaking, you are safe asking
"May I have some tea?".
I bet you don't receive the tea on the head
or the hands.
