      Thank you Jundo-oso, for your candor and sincerity but, please don't be spreading that rumor about Santa Claus :shock: because his spirit lives on in my world as does Buddha/Shakamuni, Avalokitesvara/Kannon , Bodidharma, Maitreya, Jizo and all those other guys/girls 8) . And, as for the Easter Bunny, he/she died last week. Living in the yard next to mine, he was attacked by a raccoon and did not survive. However, He/she still lives on in memory

        Indeed Jundo,
        We should not forget that the Zen we have today that people defend so vehemently came about through the efforts of earlier Zen radicals like Rinzai and Dogen. Why should we now stop challenging, is Zen not as impermanent as the rest of the universe (not really two seperate things).

          Hello Onshin,

          That all depends on the point of view, no?

          A monk asked Daizui,
          "When the great kalpa fire bursts out, the whole universe [2] will be
          destroyed. I wonder if IT will also be destroyed or not."
          Daizui said,
          "Destroyed."
          The monk said,
          "If so, will IT be gone with the other [3]?"
          Daizui said,
          "Gone with the other."

          A monk asked Ryusai,
          "When the great kalpa fire bursts out, the whole universe will be
          destroyed. I wonder if IT will also be destroyed or not."
          Ryusai said,
          "Not destroyed."
          The monk said,
          "Why is it not destroyed?"
          Ryusai said,
          "Because it is the same as the whole universe."

                I couldn't help but picture a pissed-off Jundo in full Zen regalia, looking in the mirror.. "you talkin' to ME?! I don't see any other monks around here so you MUST be talking to ME!"

                Heh... thanks for sharing and for further answering Chris's questions.

                Gassho,

                    I love talking about politics and religion in mixed company, as I occasionally run across a totally new way of thinking about things. Sometimes the discussion becomes heated, but that doesn't make it bad. Furthermore, the discussion on ZFI was informative, disheartening, and sparkling all at the same time.

                        Thank you Jundo for having the courage to offer up your opinion. Living in the states, it seems sometimes that if you disagree, you better be ready for an argument rather then a discussion.
