 Excerpt from the Diamond Sutra

Subhuti, in these bodhisattvas no perception of a self takes place, no perception of a being, no perception of a soul, no perception of a person. Nor do these bodhisattvas have a perception of a dharma, or a perception of a no-dharma. No perception or non-perception takes place in them.
And why? If, Subhuti, these bodhisattvas, should have a perception of either a dharma, or a no-dharma, they would thereby seize on a self, on a being, on a soul, on a person.
And why? Because a bodhisattva should not seize on either a dharma or a no-dharma. Therefore this saying has been taught by the Tathagata with a hidden meaning: “By those who know the discourse on dharma as like unto a raft, dharmas should be forsaken, still more so, no-dharmas.”
The Lord asked: What do you think, Subhuti, is there any dharma which the Tathagata has fully known as “the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment,” or is there any dharma which the Tathagata has demonstrated?
Subhuti replied: No, not as I understand what the Lord has said. And why? This dharma which the Tathagata has fully known or demonstrated – it cannot be grasped, it cannot be talked about, it is neither a dharma nor a no-dharma. And why? Because an absolute exalts the holy persons. 

From the Bruce Lee movie "Enter the Dragon" -
Shaolin Abbott: I see your talents have gone beyond the mere physical level. Your skills are now at the point of spiritual insight. I have several questions. What is the highest technique you hope to achieve ?
Lee: To have no technique.

I used to imagine that having no technique meant to become a spherical blob /cloud of protoplasm and engulf the enemy and then return back to your original shape and size, but I am beginning to see now that that is not what is meant by the above.

Think of this - you are in a train and you are passing stations one a second. Seriously. Try to roll with the imagery. Now, if your girlfriend asks you, over the cell phone , "Which station are you at now ?" And any answer you give will always be wrong. You wouldn't finish saying the name of the station before it passed by.

This train metaphor is  a re-hash of the one in the Pirsig book.
Pirsig's book,  which is sneaky  and roundabout and yet seeps the lessons into your subconscious without your knowing. Years after reading it  (and not understanding anything),  ideas and concepts from the book would still keep popping up from time to time.....

It's just "Be here now " (Ram Dass), for a very small tiny value of now , all the time.

Susan Blackmore nails it in 'Ten Zen questions' -
1)  am I conscious now ?  2) was I conscious of a moment ago ?
