JM,
You say, 'Diamond Sutra said nothing. It is just a tool for
awakening.' If so, why do you keep quoting it?
Are you aware that Diamond Sutra was composed at least 500 years after
Buddha's demise? That is a consensus of modern Buddhist scholars.
Nevertheless, it is an excellent sutra.

ED,
Thank you for your concern. I thank you. Let me say a few things
about the value of my posts.
* My teacher does not want us to record, memorize, take notes,
catalog his speeches, because when the moment passes, they
are no longer valid, because they will be out of context ---
emotional, logical, sequential and circumstantial context.
So did Buddha and Jesus.
* My teacher always remind us that Diamond Sutra said
nothing. It is just a tool for awakening.
* My posts are not mine. Most of my posts are borrowed,
copied, plagiarized from some where. They are very very
narrow in scope, while I suppose to cover ALL, because that
is what Chan is. Chan is ALL. Therefore my posts are
always partial and incomplete by nature.
* My posts server one purpose, to awaken someone. Often that
someone may not be the person named in the post.
* To conclude, my posts contains no value, especially after
the effect.
Thank you for thinking of me.:-)
Have a nice day.
JM

Bill,
In your opinion, is this below an acceptable 'Zen' teaching, or
is it an unnecessary accretion to Zen?
JMJM, the above is an honest and straightforward question, which
I hope does not offend you.
Thanks, ED
