<br/>Joe,<br/><br/>Oh yes, It's so easy to the Japanese mentality expressed in 
the zendo. But that's the Japanese way. They don't just make a cup of tea - it 
becomes an elaborate ceremony. They don't just have a punch up - it becomes a 
fighting system. They can't just put a flower in a vase - it becomes ikebana. . 
Even a garden displaying the 'wild' beauty of nature takes hundreds of years to 
perfect. And they can't just sit down and relax - it becomes zazen!<br/><br/>Do 
you think "universal" Zen could just be another way of saying "Western" Zen?
