There is a deep connection between William Blake's worldview, and the worldview of Zen Buddhism.

Our human experience of Truth does not belong to only one cultural heritage, geography, or time; it belongs to all human beings and is our potential to discover for ourselves.

Zen is concerned with finding the original, clear self and expressing that energy and wholeness in everyday life. There are many writings about how to find and live that original self.

In his work, Blake portrayed the human being as ultimately what he called Albion, which represent the original human before our timeless fall from a fully healthy and integrated state of being.

Both Zen and the works of William Blake are pointing to the inner freedom and harmony that we each have from the beginning, but that we need to discover for ourselves.
