Siska,
I'm sorry!, to be obscure, and to use "dialect", a version of slang or the
sound of speech that is characteristic of an area, or attitude.
"PULL-ease" is just a slow way of saying "Please", using a lot of emphasis, as
a way of begging a person to carry something out, or to allow something. It
can sometimes be a little sarcastic, if we are asking a person to STOP
something or to desist in some behavior; or, it can be genuinely sincere as a
way of begging for something positively.
Thus, I sincerely asked and invited you strongly to begin a thread.
And, I suppose you will, when something may come up.
I don't know if you have a Zen practice yourself, or have practiced with a
teacher and a sangha, or if there are books that have influenced you. If you
would start a thread to mention any of those things, that would be very
definitely interesting from my point of view.
Is there any general culture of Zen practice in your area, by the way?
