Kim, Welcome to the group.
I am one who also believes zen is not just a sub-set or sect of Buddhism, and is not dependent upon Buddhism in any way. I do believe however that the Buddhist religion does represent zen better than any other I've encountered. I hope you'll enjoy your membership and be a frequent contributor. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], "frater1958" <frater1958@...> wrote: > > hello, I am new to this group but glad to be a part of it. > > My name is Bede, 55, live in the UK, and a member of an Anglican Religious > Community.
