Bill!,
Generalize all you want, but Zen Buddhism is my religion. If I call it "Zen",
that goes with the territory. But I am open to making needed distinctions when
anyone wishes, provided they can be made.
We'll just have to see.

PS Note that my proof to Merle consisted of the words "Zen Buddhism".
PPS Zen Buddhism is a religion, and what it opens a practitioner to is Zen
(emptiness; no-mind; Compassion; and Wisdom). Christianity is a religion, and
what it opens a practitioner to is Love (which is said to be "God"). Now, Love
may not be a religion, but the Dalai Lama says, "Kindness is my Religion".
It's all a bit of a personal thing, I guess you see. I hope it's VERY
personal! ;-)
