Bill,
Don't lurk.
How do you know your 'self' is 'annihilated' or somehow disappear, so that
karma will no longer work?
Does that mean nihilism? Or nirvana?

Edgar,
What is your belief? Do past lives exist? Or regression is just a hypnotic
technique, so the subject can have wild dreams?

There was a good discussion here a while ago about morality. I must
have missed the part about homosexuality being immoral in the Zen
handbook. Or was that YOUR moral judgement. Please, tell us more about
the basic concepts of Zen, it seems that your ideas may be much

Mayka,
With no disrespect to Thich Nhat Hanh, he is a self-proclaimed
Buddhist so presumbably practices and teaches zen from a Buddhist
perspective. Buddhism recognizes karma so what else would you expect
from him?

Mayka.
I believe that most would say that Zen is a type of Buddhism like Vipassana or
Pure Land. I know of no one else who makes a distinction between zen and Zen.
With that said, it’s probably best not to dwell on semantics and definitions.
This is exactly what it is, regardless of the l
With all my respect to you Bill but;
Thich Nhat Hanh is a Venerable Zen Buddhist Master who was borne with
the zen spoon in his mouth. He is also one of the greates scholars
of our time. But most important he is a person who have gained a
very impresive profound understanding of zen practice.

Chan is One, or . The One which is the universe, which includes
everything we see and not see, know and not know.
There is this perpetual life force which manifests everything in the
universe. Some has a form and some are formless. Yet all such
manifestations are relative, transient and i

Hi, Having Trouble Lurking Bill,
I love strong statement... I always enjoyed your posting.
I don't "know" whether karma has a position in zen or not. I don't
"know" where it belongs. Do you? :-)
I also don't "know" what zen is. You have stated many times about
"true zen" as "True zen". I
Hi Edgar,
Thank you. Interesting technique. I have learned. Now I understand
what you mean by psychological phenom.
In deed, these memory recall does not necessarily mean they existed in
the physical world. Now I understand your statement.

I'm having trouble lurking...
Karma does not have a position in zen.
Karma is a belief in a lot of religions, like Buddhism, Hinduism and
even Christianity - 'as you sow, so shall you reap', 'if you're 'bad'
you'll go to hell but if you're 'good' you'll go to heaven', etc...

Mayka,
I believe Bill Smart is the moderator. I don't know if there is an
'administrator'. Maybe it is also Bill. Please confirm.

Edgar/JM,
I repeat and clarify JM's question. Edgar, what do you mean by karma is
'psychologically real'? What is 'real'? Only material is real?
Please also clarify your 'regression'. Does it mean hypnotics?

Anthony

Sorry I have had an English error again. Last paragraph should read
as:
Therefore, I try no to make any judgements about something I don't
know what is about. With the exception of knowing that people from
the same sex are atracted to each others, and also that homosexuals
don't feel sexualy
