It is said that Buddhas and Zen Masters have the amazing power to transcend BIG and small ... ... to make the small TREMENDOUS, and the BIG as tiny as an atom ...

Basho haiku'd a tiny jump and a boundless sound ...

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour
A small thing, no big trick for Zen folks!
