Mayka, Prajnaparamita is not the same as 'mu'. The former is completely logical, and the latter completely illogical. The four noble truths are really the 'heart of Buddhism'. No sects of Buddhism ever deny them. Anthony

So I have done as ED and check into the wiki what has to say about Mahayana. The teachings still go back are: The Heart of the Prajnaparamita Sutra which is to me the equivalent to:MU. Apart from this Sutra there are many teachings in Buddhism in general I'm not aware of them, Also I keep very close to me the Sutra of the breathing and the Sutra on the eight realizations of the great beings. Others such as the lotus Sutra doesn't awake much interest in me, others I left behind such as the one of the Four Noble Truths, Others I read them when I feel like it such as the Heart of the Buddha Teachings, Mayka --- On Wed, 31/8/11, Jue Miao Jing Ming - 覺妙精明 <[email protected]> wrote: From: Jue Miao Jing Ming - 覺妙精明 <[email protected]> Subject: [Zen] Mahayana To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 31 August, 2011, 8:09 Dear Forum, Do you consider "Zen/zen/your practice" a Mahayana practice? If so, how does Mahayana actually practice? What is its core teaching?
