He presented a severe picture of Zen Buddhism, where disciples can enter salvation only through their efforts, where they are isolated for several hours at a time, and how from this isolation there can come beauty. He noted that Zen practices focus on simplicity and it is this simplicity that proves to be the beauty. "The heart of the ink painting is in space, abbreviation, what is left undrawn." From painting he moved on to talk about <a href="/wiki/Ikebana" title="Ikebana">ikebana</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bonsai" title="Bonsai">bonsai</a> as art forms that emphasize the elegance and beauty that arises from the simplicity.

Kawabata reminisced of other famous Japanese authors who committed suicide, in particular <a href="/wiki/Ry%C5%ABnosuke_Akutagawa" title="Ryūnosuke Akutagawa">Ryūnosuke Akutagawa</a>. He contradicted the custom of suicide as being a form of enlightenment, mentioning the priest <a href="/wiki/Ikky%C5%AB" title="Ikkyū">Ikkyū</a>, who also thought of suicide twice. He quoted Ikkyū, "Among those who give thoughts to things, is there one who does not think of suicide?" There was much speculation about this quote being a clue to Kawabata's suicide in 1972, a year and a half after <a href="/wiki/Yukio_Mishima" title="Yukio Mishima">Mishima</a> had committed
