Hi, again, Brett. One other thing. I would like to draw a distinction here
between Zen and Buddhist philosophy. I have a background in philosophical
studies, and I am particularly interested in Idealistic Buddhist philosophy
(Cittamatra, Yogacara, Vijnanavada). But I would like to emphasize that Zen, in
my opinion, is not a philosophy. So when I go on with my long-winded lectures,
please keep in mind that I am just philosophising, which is just a bad habit of
mine!
Steve
