I am disappointed that you are disappointed with TNH. Though I know very little
about it, I believe, from what the little I have heard, that TNH is better than
many Christian establishments. But I may be wrong. Anyway, if you are fed up
with one thing, move on to another. Don't
Mike,
I don't see the 'free pass'. You find Islam criticising Christianity, and vice
versa, and Christianity reviling Buddhism and vice versa. Many other instances.
The reason you are afraid to say something against Christianity is because you
live in a strong Christain influenced

It is wrong that you associate thinking with the heart. The brain plays the key

Edgar,
What do you think of the following anti-intellectual zen remark:
When you cross a bridge, the water underneath stops, but the bridge flows.
Is it complete nonsense? Or it has some other meaning?

I don't think Mayka is insincere, nor did she misspell your name on purpose. It
was a typo. Mayka is very conscientious. Please don't take offense. Or I will
cry under my pillow. By the way you also call her Maria by mistake.

Mayka,
If the forum only allowed topics related to zen, it would become full of dogs
and shit. Zen is involved in everything, so we can roam to many realms. Don't
worry, if it strays too far away, we have two moderators to pull it back.

Mike,

too far. I have to work harder.

Jody,
Yes, we all have to reincarnate as animals for our next lives. A wild fax might
be a good idea. Remember the monk turned into a wild fox, because he said he
could defy gravity. It is great to be able to practice the Wild Fox Zen for 500
lifetimes.
