Ask me a question.
OK. How do Zen teachings reconcile with the frequently abrasive and obnoxious qualities of your on-line personality?
How long did it take you to become a Zen Monk?
Please tie this answer with the question above…:5obsessed
Whacks BaronVonDingDong on the head with a staff and walks away without saying a word.
Doesn’t it suck to be a monk and therefore abstinent?
I was gonna tell you to shut the fuck up, but Hapko did a pretty decent job of answering.
In your question, there is one key word.
What is your opinion of the tradition of mokuso in, for instance, judo? Line up, seiza, mokuso, breathe for a minute, done. I haven’t heard a stated relationship to Zen, but would you say it walks and quacks?
“do”?
I’m not a monk.
I’m a Dharma teacher.
FOR THE BILLIONTH FUCKING TIME!
Any sort of sitting down & trying to quiet the mind for a second is a good thing. It’s good for you physically, emotionally, psychically, whatever.
It’s not THE THING though, & just sitting down & shutting up is not what it’s all about.
Soto peoples will of course smack me for that.
Why do zen?
How is this Liquor, Loot or Lady?

Well, you didnt flip out like you normally do, so it wasnt as good of a segue as I thought it would be.
I was wanting you to comment on the juxtaposition between the perceived Zen image and the actual reality of Zen and those that practice.
Cuz the chicks dig it.
Which also answers Snakes query…
Yeah, but only as a “friend.” If I do taoism then they partake of my yang as part of our alchemical process.
Did the shiny bald head follow the zen or the other way around? Because I rather not do Zen if my hair will end up like yours.
Especially that whole “living at the monastery” part.
I think I just attained Enlightenment… in my pants.
