Hello JMJM I take the line that no commentaries on Zen or its teachings can be seriously taken unless they come from people who actually hold the beliefs. On occasion, one may across some academic or articulate individual who may say something that's very zen, but one cannot be sure 100% if the speaker even understand or comprehend what he/she just said Buddha be praised Mel

May I say the answer to my question is, "To some Zen is a religion, to others it is not, depending on the region and culture." Then my next question is, "Based on the CNN article, do you think Zen will flourish or disappear?" :-) -- Be Enlightened In This Life - We ALL Can http://chanjmjm.blogspot.com http://www.heartchan.org
