Reality-Irreality

In elementary, high school, and a bit later, I studied irreality in the forms of fantasy and science fiction.  When I voyaged to Japan, I found out that there was reality that was really interesting that I could not find elsewhere, and I learned about Buddhoanimism.  Nevertheless, even as a child, I already had a tendency towards Buddhoanimism.

My Philippine nickname was "Nonong."  With this nickname, I intuitively learned Zen without knowing the concept really existed, and I learned about actual Zen only later as a teenager and beyond.
