I hope your don't mind. :-) You see the tree connecting to your mind. You miss the forest. Please read the entire post addressing more than you, and not just some phrases relating only to your post. Buddha or Chan is always the WE and the WHOLE. We don't have to be right or wrong. Defend or offend. Whether this is Shikantaza or not, is not important. Though Shikantaza is only a portion of Chan, it also serves its purposes and helps. Chan is in Shikantaza. But Shikantaza is not Chan. Chan is just called Chan, but not Chan. Chan is ONE and ALL and it is not in logic or words or practice. _/\_ JMJM On 8/4/2012 9:44 AM, mike brown wrote: >>Sometimes, a real Kyosaku is necessary. :-) > > > >Going by your own argument.. why?
