There IS NO EXCUSE FOR IGNORANCE IN THE INTERNET AGE

Well it's pretty neat that I'm not stuck in a metaphysical construct then.

As such my excuse is to blame Foyan.

"Over the age of thirty, it’s better not to study, because it will be hard to learn even if you do, and it will also be of dubious value. "

I really barely know anything about zen (or about you for that matter!) but you seem super un-zen based on your general vibe ????? Aren't you supposed to be calm and loving ???

Yeah... that's fair.

b/c if you went to England and told everybody you were a football player and you were built like a linebacker?

They would all think you didn't know @#$# about football.

The "Zen" in the West is actually a hippie version of a Japanese religion called Dogenism.

Japanese Dogenism is all about prayer-meditation and mind pacification.

Read any book from the 1,000 year history of Zen in China, and it is immediately clear that Japanese church lied to you. www.reddit.com/r/zen/wiki/getstarted.

Or just commonly discussed Zen teachings: www.reddit.com/r/zen/wiki/famous_cases

A church lying? When you think about it... should not surprise you.

I love it that I say "please" in a post and I get vote brigaded.

How... non-harassy?

I go around social media to see who is lying about Zen and if anybody is suffering as a result of their own critical thinking fails... b/c compassion.

Raddle really needs me for some reason.
