Bill,
You are talking about the essence of zen. But don't wash your mouth. In
modern world, you cannot just talk about talking nothing.
To eliminate self or to understand what things are help eliminate suffering.
Thank you anyway.
Regards,
Anthony

Anthony, I agree. I also believe the (God, Buddha, Krishna, Ganeesh,
Empiricism, Fill-In-The Blank) you worship is your self also. And as you said
in any case if you worship (or are even still are attached to) a self you will
have suffering.
I usually dont talk about zen having an objective, but I do believe
alleviation of suffering is the objective of Buddhism. And as Ive said many
times before talking about zen is virtually impossible, so using Buddhist terms
is normally okay with me. When the self dissolves so does suffering.
Happy New Year everyone!
Bill!
