Chris,
Thanks for the chance to consider.
Well...,
If it seems outside of the orthodoxy to *YOU*, then, yes, it is outside. You
are what counts.
And that is the rub, and what is so lamentable for all beings.
It's what made Shakayamuni get up from his seat to teach, even after his
awakening that morning.
It's all a matter of how YOU experience it. A zen teacher will make sure that
you know whereof you speak, before you speak (much).
We all know that Alaska is cold in Winter, but unless you've been there... it's
words in a Science book, not your own.
