RE: [Zen] Re: FW: Quote from St. Thomas Aquinas

Siska, There are no prescribed ‘techniques’ for communicating Buddha Nature, which is the attempt of all koans. The communication has to be spontaneous and come directly from Buddha Nature. Sometimes it is a sentence or two. Sometimes it is just one or two words. Sometimes it is just a soun

Siska, I don’t mean to jump in for Anthony, but I’d like to respond to this too. Koans are like any other historical or even ancient writings. This includes the Bible. No one really knows whether the stories are really true, or mostly true or a compilation of several different occurrenc

RE: [Zen] The Teacher-Student Relationship: Genpo Roshi & Andrew Cohen

I definitely agree with ED’s point below: “Who they *really* are and all their foibles are irrelevant if you are learning and growing by being with them.” A traditional zen saying that says the same thing is: ‘Even a great zen master can’t enlighten an uncommitted student, but an earnest student

Bill; Couldn't refrain myself and express an observation which has nothing to do with thread about Karma.It seems as there isn't any problem to say in public something positive to ED but it's seems as it was a problem of doing so when he clearly verbally abused me in public. As a result putting
