ED: In real life and face to face with people in the arena of zen there are no women or men but just practicioners who sit down together and practice together. There is not as much chatting but all activities are made in minfulness. Mayka --- On Wed, 10/11/10, ED <[email protected]> wrote:

There are times I don't get on with certain type of men and there are times I find difficult to get on with certain type of women. There are very competitive men and there are very competitive women but there are also all those to whom value the most the quality contact they have with other human beings regardless they are men or women. In real life I also have some male friend to whom first encounter was a disaster and then after some disagrements and fights become very close friends. There is no difference here for as long as the person in front of us is of the same wave of thinking. Mayka
