From a Buddhist perspective I see him pointing to "intimacy". I have long said and I have said it here before, I am sure, that an any experience of the divine is not different from any experience of intimacy, truly being present to this moment, this thing, this person.
And Zazen is "stark, simple and direct in its capacity to awaken, deepen and sustain the contemplative experience of [intimacy] of the present moment".
Fingers pointing to "A" moon.
Bows,
