From: "hsin_shang" > A non-grasping mind - or awareness as you want to call it- does not experience or move along the grooves of fun and no fun.>
So when a Zen Master makes love to a beautiful person it is the same to him as if he fell down a flight of stairs? When he holds his infant son in his arms for the first time after the child was born, to a Zen Master it is the same as a bowel movement? So becoming a Zen Master is like becoming an insensitive clod or a wooden stump? It seems odd that so many people seem to believe Zen is an extreme of insensitivity? Instead of seeing & feeling more you think that becoming enlightened means that all experience in life is lumped together to eliminate pain and joy? ------------------------ Yahoo!
