Maybe you are the one missing the reality. I dealt with a real situation in a positive way. I felt more alive because I stepped outside of my box. That beats sitting on a cushion and taking sarcastic snipes at other people. For those 99.9% of us who are never going to become Zen Masters, Zen is just a tool which can be used to see different perspectives. A youthful mind sees things from various points of view more easily than someone used to routine. I think that is one thing that "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" refers to. Having a mind that is open to more possibilities. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Has someone you know been affected by illness or disease?
