Thank you Sensei. I really really like the way you put it. Indeed, when
we live it, everything just happens.
With your permission, I shall forward to two groups.

Good morning to All,
Our Teacher, Chan Master Wu Jue Miao Tian remind us repeatedly, Our
practice begins with Bodhisatva. what does it mean?
This statement can be understood in many ways. Position our heart at
the Bodhisatva level to begin, so that we are already closer to be a
Buddha.
And more clearly, until we are ready to place our heart at the
Bodhisatva position, our practice does not begin.
Yet, when we do place our heart as a Bodhisatva, everything just happens

Al,
I don't know what to make of you. You give people a forum to share
and discuss their beliefs, and then you mock them? I understand the
making lite of people who are too full of themsevles, especially
relating to Zen, but you sit in judgement of everyone? I guess you
just don't believe in
Al,
Obviously you are incapable of being taught, so why the call for
teachers? JM has taught me plenty, and he has tried to teach you.
Those who proclaim their credentials, may not be the best to learn
from. But I guess they would be fun to make fun of, if that is your
intent.

Perhaps it is because the highly opinionated and generally uninformed
discourse among the non-educated is boring?

I don't mind that you're non-educated... you're discourse is not
usually boring to me... neither are any of the other posts that come
up here. But I guess that's saying alot about me, huh.

Yes, you do not understand me. I do not understand you. I try to illustrate
things in my own way. Some people get it, and some people don't. That is all
I can do.

You know, you were sending me personal hate-emails a while back and I let it

Apparently you have some kind of issue with me and perhaps you should
disclose what it is in full detail and maybe that

Al,
There are of course now those that are only peddling zen to make a buck.
That was probably inevitable when zen moved to the West, especially in the
US where avarice is the national pastime. But I don't look at these as

That is what I like about this Forum! Well put, Bill. Zen is within.
You can talk and analyze until you are blue in the face, but until you
follow a disciplined practice you cannot appreciate the awareness it
brings.
I do so appreciate the wisdom and insight that comes from those

Dude, I sent you one e-mail asking if you were an idiot. It sounds

it turns out you were just mocking another person that was.
Anyway, I think my
