"David McEwen" > Ok. Name one that doesn't come from the traditional zen tradition. > Go read any Zen book and tell me which one puts limitations on how enlightenment can be achieved. Read any modern Zen book that discusses other religions or spiritual practices and show me one that does not recognize that nearly every other religion has some understanding of Enlightenment and seeks the path in a unique way.
If you want to believe that you should not enjoy movies or have fun during sex, knock yourself out. If you want to say that I don't understand your point, go ahead. I will never understand life in terms of "Lowered Expectations" (Mad TV?). I think Zen is about seeing life through every spectrum of light. It is about more, not less. The road to enlightenment is different for every person. We are all individuals. What works so well for you may not work for another person, and vice versa. If you feel that your path is the one, then forge ahead. I hope that any discussion can only further your growth in the direction that benefits you the most. ------------------------ Yahoo!
