Chris, I've seen Merle trivialize it, in every post. Hi, Cous'! Luv ya.
Compared to / with her posts, Americans are more advanced in practice than you and me. Trivialize? I'm an old man, C. This goes / has gone with the territory. But, find yourself in a community of practitioners, and you will find critical mass. Looky-here, C.: there's Zen; and, there's hooey. I think it's always been so. When it comes to Zen... only a Practitioner, well, "knows". We forgive all trivializations. How could anyone else know? We know that practice is necessary. And we try to extend our appreciation of our practice to others. But do not proselytize. This is why I teach. To the extent that I do. Since 1980. I don't forgive my (your) culture; and, I don't indict it. It takes "a Certain Maturity", to take up our Practice. You won't find it online. Usually. Rare exceptions. Bill!, and me; Mike; and you. Maybe some lurkers. And Mr. Zendervish, here, certainly. Kudos, and hail!, all non-fuddlers! --Joe > Chris Austin-Lane <chris@...> wrote: > > http://www.thesatoriteacompany.com/ > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IK735YHVtA > > http://zenhabits.net/ > > I believe you must simply be failing to understand my words here.
