Chris,
A Zen teacher, at sesshin, say, will not let you stay at One-Mind, and will
encourage you to continue, if the teacher is true and good.
You think that is "superior". I just say that it is the way of Zen, and Zen
training. And a fact of life.
You may find this out, when the time comes. No-Mind is Zen-Mind.
One-Mind is not bad, as I write, but it is not yet Zen.
There is a way to go from One-Mind to No-Mind. That's when Zen opens to a
person. Not ever before.
Before, it's ideas and feelings.
After, it's Zen-Mind. Then you know that you have not been lied to by Buddhas
and Patriarchs. And then, you can help those who are new to Zen.
With good wishes,
--Joe
