Hi Joe agree with most you say. You state 'Some others who are not 
working in the Zen way think that we must first use everything, in order 
to awaken' - I have never heard of this.

Everything I have read says that you should just sit in zazen and let it 
take it's course, then awakenment will come ,either through grace or via 
an enlightened teacher capable or interested in pushing you over the 
edge (another  model I guess).

I wonder how many think that Samadhi is enlightenment?
