"There
are two ways. One is through one's own strength. This is called in
Japanese jiriki, "self power." The other is through
what the Japanese call the Way of the Kitten: tariki, or "outside
help." Just as a kitten requires its mother to pick it up by the
scruff of the neck and carry it to safe ground, so some souls require
the action of an outside agent to carry them beyond themselves.
Zen
is the way of inside help; you do it yourself. In the great mythic world
of the Bodhisattvas and the Buddhas, whose grace and mercy and
compassion yield the energy that enables us to release ourselves from
the bonds of Illusion, on the other hand, you have the way of outside
power. This is the way to myth." (Joseph
Campbell, Myths of Light)
