Well, I got a personal reply from Bhikkhu Samahita:
my posting:
>>What do you intend by sending these kind of
>>messages? I am really wondering about that.
Bhikkhu Samāhita's reply:
>The supreme best state for all beings: Bliss!
While I have read some really good comments about intention (thank you
very much for this Neutral Milk!!!), I am still not convinced about
the true intentions of Bhikkhu Samāhita. What is this bliss?
Unless you are not using your own words and expressions, your postings
remain essentially hollow and thus more or less unnessarily.
After all, we could all start to copy some texts from the scriptures
and post them to this mailinglist. These texts maybe valuable but soon
- this mailinglist would be dead, wouldn't it?
This mailinglist is living because humans are involved here, humans
with their problems to understand the dharma or the practice of zen.
Humans that would like to >>exchange<< about Zen practice and this
very Life.
So, what about posting some real personal experiences? As far as I
know, you left as a physician Copenhagen/Denmark and your family to go
to Sri Lanka to become a monk. What are your reasons for doing so?
And please - don't use the scriptures as a resource for your answer :-).
It is all about life! Isn't it this, why the old patriarchs said,
don't slander the Buddha, when using the words of the Buddha?
