Koan 14

“There is nothing new under the sun.” — Ecclesiastes

 

There is nothing new because every thing is new, as every thing is in constant change. Nothing can be described as new as newness is not a separately defining characteristic.

There is nothing new as all things are interdependent. All things are one thing: the now. The now is not old or new, just always.

As light is the essence of all things, nothing is new as the essence of all things is unchanged.
