So you finally let go of your mistaken notions and accept CHI?
very good grasshopper.
Now understand CHI.
CHI is everywhere. CHIcks, CHIhuahuas, CHIn, CHIna, CHIcano, CHIcago, CHIli,
CHIle, etc.
Get in touch with CHI. Ride your CHI.

Al et al,
Since we're on a lighter note I'd like to pass on that 'chi' in Thai
is a verb that means 'to pee'. I always think of that when I read
JMJM's posts. Maybe that's why I've had such a hard time swallowing
his admonitions to embrace the chi.

JMJM,
Although I do not agree with everything in your recent posting
attached, I was not at all disappointed.
I especially liked your quote from the Platform Sutra:
"We originally have what is pure, unmovable, undying and sufficient."
...and your comment right after that:

Hi Bill,
No need to say anything. None of these discussion is important to our
Inner Self. No need to insist on anything or reject anything. That
are the working of our mind. In parallel, our Inner Divine lives on by
itself. It has its own path and force and direction. It is our tru

I always enjoy your posts, thank you. Even though I no longer
practice, I still believe deeply in the Zen existence. And, no, I
have not been listening to Al. Al should understand that if you
detach yourself from your Ego through these 'mind-numbing' practices
you will be a better person
Hi All,
Often we said to our selves, I hate myself. What's the origin of that?
Often when we go shopping, our decisions are more promptu then logical.
What's the cause of that? In our mind is a flawless software program,
where does all the inspirations coming from?

Al,
You're asking very difficult questions.
I'll pass for now on the one about 'What is the point of living a
good life if it means nothing and has no value?'. I'll only say now
that although I don't worry about a point or a meaning to living, I
wouldn't say life has no value.
I'd like to in

Just because we recognize that what is is illusion doesn't mean we
don't have to deal with it, or that it isn't part of the THIS (in
Bill's terminology). The problem is when we get involved in
conceptualizing spirituality (gods, demons, spirits etc.) and get

Bill and Al,
Let me offer my answer to Al's question. The point of life (which
exists only on the razor's edge of the present moment after all) is
simply to be enlightened in this present moment right here right now.
Then the question vanishes. And that is the answer. Total unqualified

I too have enjoyed these latest threads, even though I'm afraid some

are other ways, but this is the ZEN_Forum)... We still have our

Hi Al,
The question is what is reality. According to Diamond Sutra, reality is
Buddha, or Final Form. Then only after we surpass Form and
Formlessness, then we see Buddha. Final form is the universal support
of all forms, which is the life energy of everything. How can we be

Well Al, It is not important how Zen is the same or not to Chan, because
these are mental comparisons in the realm of forms, form of words,
though in Chinese and Japanese writing they are identical, because after
all Zen is from Chan.
