Hi Merle,
It seems to be the basic problem of defensiveness of the true believer
mentality when their most cherished Zen fantasies are questioned and they have
to confront the fact that the bases of their belief systems may not be true....
Instead of simply learning the lesson their ego bristles and they react
defensively.
It's difficult for even the greatest of Boddhisattvas to teach the simplest
lessons to true believers.
Let them eat yam leaves!
:-)
Best,
Edgar
