Mike and JMJM, Mike, Thanks for this link. I pulled up the article will wait to read it until JMJM says he thinks it's worthwhile doing so. I don't want to have 3 or 4 versions of Ch'an rolling around in my head. The mix we get here on the Zen Forum about zen is confusion enough, and I trust JMJM's insight and knowledge on Ch'an.
JMJM, If you would please read the article cited below and tell me what you think of it. It's looks pretty thorough. It's by Ch'an Master Sheng-yen (1977) if that helps you make that determination without reading it. Thanks...Bill! --- In [email protected], uerusuboyo@... wrote: > > Joe,<br/><br/>http://www.abuddhistlibrary.com/Buddhism/C%20-%20Zen/Modern%20Teachers/Sheng%20Yen/What%20is%20Ch%27an/What%20is%20Ch%27an%20-%20Master%20Sheng-yen.htm<br/><br/>Found > this online and thought you might be interested.
