So I hear you say. But you take me wrongly. I was addressing someone here who is practicing Soto Zen with a teacher; yet, you commented anyway, and in a way to chastise me, then. This, although you practice with no teacher, and may not know Soto from Rinzai from Obaku, unless you've read some good foundational books, and remember something factual of what you have read. 70 km? That's about 43 US miles. I suppose you can see the glow of the City in your night sky. Does the sky light interfere with your naked-eye view of the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds? --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > joe..we have been there i can't get to a teacher..so i teach myself...edgar > would not be saying i need a teacher...i am my own teacher..for the 100th > time i live 70 ks from sydney...don't you get it?... it's impossible... so i > MUST do my own teaching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! merle > > Merle, > > If you are practicing Soto Zen with a teacher and sangha, then, and only > then, shall I apologize, and profusely, too, with kudos and best wishes.
