ED; If you search for intellectual zen is the last place for having that. Intellectualising is not the best compliment to say to any zen practicioner. So you are not complimenting your fellow mates males at all. You are complimenting we women as people who talk about their own experiences and put on the side intellectualism. Though this is not a real statement either but just your own mental perceptions about men and women. If there is a discussion about a subject all sharing are valuable. However in Buddhism, Chan and zen what its more valuable is the personal experience about any talked subject. If you can't offer this in any discussion subject it only means that you are not into the real wave of Buddhism, Chan, zen. And if you are not into the wave how could you get into the discussion of any subject based in personal experience unless you borrow the intellectual over any subject from others?.

From: ED <[email protected]> Subject: [Zen] Re: Questions To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 5 May, 2011, 18:42 There are two principal ways of learning, one is through sharing personal experiences, the other is through a more intellectual transmission of information. Neither method is superior to the other, as one or other of the two methods works better for a specific individual, depending on the person's personality characteristics. Women usually prefer the former method, men tend to prefer the latter. --ED --- In [email protected], Maria Lopez <flordeloto@...> wrote: > > ED; > This is why I appreciate a lot any a sharing based in personal experience about it. > Mayka
