Re: [Zen] Zen in The Middle East?

[Genryu]

There is no Zen apart from Zen Buddhism, and yes there are temples, monasteries and centers. Whilst they may or may not be 'needed' in some sense, I often find that those who say there is no need for a teacher, temple or practice come to that, have not yet understood that Zen training is not something that happens by reading a few misinformed books.   Genryu   ----- Original Message ----- From: Agnes To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 4:20 AM Subject: Re: [Zen] Zen in The Middle East?
