Thank you for your reply. The problem I see with this approach is that we're simply justifying our own attachments/desires/positionalities when we think this way. Why can't zazen be zazen and cannabalism be cannabalism without throwing our opinion of either into the mix? If I wake up in the morning as hungry for zazen as a cannabal is for human flesh (to borrow your comparison), aren't I just, ultimately, in an endless search to satisfy a "hunger," regardless of what form that takes? I still don't see how that makes one "better" than the other. Thanks, Mike [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
