Donald,
I made no comments about the challenge or prescription you give to carry out
for a year.
I note that many of us have been at it for a good deal longer than that. So,
we may speak directly already. And, we are doing so.
My comments are about the view of Chan that you carry. I suggest you
touch-base with other Chan teachers and see what they think of your view of
Chan. The Dharma Drum people are some there who come to mind who are readily
available. That is all.
Now, will you do it?
