> Ryunen, I have another question, what is your perception of Zen attitude and behaviors? Since Zen is something that we can not put it in fixed language/s, then what is the chance for people who might have different perception of what Zen attitude and/or behaviors should be? > > Best regards, > > Agnes >
Hi Agnes, Thanks so much for the info on Ji Gong. He sounds like an interesting and understanding sort of fellow. =) Boy Agnes, that's a whopper of a question! My teacher and I sat and tried to figure out what people were talking about when they said "That's so Zen!" and we had no idea. I think it's absolutely guaranteed folks have very different perceptions of what Zen is. I mean, when you consider there's Zen toilet paper holders, Zen condos, Zen Garden bras, and Buddha only knows what else, I'm pretty sure there isn't a one of us who could say what Zen was. I'd say the Zen mind is one of direct experience without interferring thinking, sustained by correct zazen. That's as far as I'll take it and it's probably too far and in the wrong direction. It's like trying to explain ice cream to someone who's never seen or tasted it. LOL This can't be done second hand, you've just got to stick your tongue in. Now would everyone else who is reading this jump in and "share"? I know there are some very verbous folks out there... Fudo? Wai? Doug? (oh, that's right, you only know zafus) AC? Diana?
