[Zen] The Brandy Issue

[Sebastian Ortiz Duran Gochicoa]

Welcome Brandy.   LOL. Great monkey analogy. I’ve also wondered how it is that of all the mailing lists I’m a member of, the ZEN list is by far the most active. LOTS of talking here. Could it be that we the Zen list members are especially anxious people and that is why we seek the aid of Zen?   Wouldn’t a true Zen mailing list be silent? If so, what’s the point of it? Fudo said, 99% of Zen in America is bogus. Enlightenment can not be communicated nor taught.   Activity helps a goal or hinders it. The issue is: Does this list help us reach Enlightenment?       The Pattern Juggler       -----Mensaje original----- De: Brandy McDaniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: 22/09/2004 10:32 a.m. Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: Re: [Zen] hi, I am new   Hello Anders. I am also new... and wondering if I joined at a bad time. All this poo flinging is rather reminicent of the monkeys at the zoo, not of a group of people who supposedly pride themselves on understanding and peace and respect for another's differences. By the way, yes, you are correct in your statement that the Muslims are commanded to be kind and understanding to other ways, whether they have actually listened to their own holy book is moot. In every group of people you will find the good and the bad. Unfortunately, the good ones also tend to be the quiet ones. Brandy. At 03:20 AM 9/22/2004, you wrote: >just thought I'd introduce myself.
