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
