Buddhism is a name given to a means of attaining a direct perception of reality. There ae three main teaching traditions in Buddhism: Hinayana, Mahayana and Zen. In reality there is no Buddhism; no Hinayana, Mahayana or Zen. There is just this. The above response was paraphrased from THE COMPASS OF ZEN by Zen Master Seung Sahn; and offered especially with Normal Milk (a forum participant) in mind to show him I actually do read books from time to time. ------------------------ Yahoo!
