It seems this forum is for short spurts of posts compared to long long spurts at ZFI. Are you third class? Are they at
ZFI first class?

How do you think not-thinking? Think outside the box.
How much daily not-doing is happening? A Laugh Out Loud amount. |

I have often thought about stepping outside the box.
Unfortunately, to do that requires letting go of the very thing that wants to step outside
Besides, it is getting cold outside. Got to find a nice warm jacket or sweater.
Sweaters are nice, they are soft and let others hug you.
Oh sorry, got off onto the wrong tracks here.

All you have to understand is that small little tomato in the center of all the bold ones. That's this forum, not your average tomato. :D |

*The discussion forum aims to spark discussions and to provide fellow buddhists and non-buddhists a means to discuss issues relevant to zen and buddhism.*
Alan has said in the past that he tries not to limit the discussion too much because that would upset its natural flow.
Some have come here and tried to take over the forum, to lead or teach according to what they deem to be their greater wisdom, and that has usually not ended well for them. Im reminded of the lyrics, *you cant even run your own life, I will be damned if you will run mine.*
Buddhism is great. I have a book of The Teachings of the Buddha on my bedside table. But what is Zen specifically ? Does Zen only apply to Buddhism ? How come not all Buddhists are Zen Buddhists ? Can I be a Zen Christian ? Or a Zen meditator without denomination ?
Before I could agree that the discussion should be limited to Zen Buddhism, I would at least have to know what Zen is, in and of itself.
As my Philosophy professor put it, *If you ask an electrician about electricy he will say, *Easy, you hook up the wires to make a circuit, flip the switch and the light goes on.* But if you ask a Physicist about electricity he will say, *I dont know what it is, No one does.** |

This truly is a Zen forum. They allow you to discuss any issues you have. People will give you their take on it. In more ways than I thought would be correct. However, some are just jokesters and others have the knowledge. Who is who? That will require you to be at your best here.

Well I think Zen is for everyone with no exceptions. The only condition is that if you are willing to sit and count your breath and face the wall for a few hours everyday. ...lol |
