Re: [Zen] Re: Not Caveat Emptor
I think one can practice Zen without being a Buddhist because Zen is a philosophy and not a religion.

Re: [Zen] Re: Not Caveat Emptor
Hi Bill! (nice to see they let you out on weekends) It's still a trick question of sorts (whether intentional or not) because ultimately it will lead to a pardox (zen and buddhism are the same, but not). In that sense, I believe zen is different because zen goes beyond the question and brings us back to our ground of being where the question need not even be asked. That was the problem the Chinese had with the Indian form of Buddhism resulting in a more direct form of buddhism. Bill Smart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ooops! That was not a TRICK question.
