Some Karma Kuestions and Komments

[Jundo]

I doubt Gautama understood his Dharma outside of his particular karmic context. As you well know (Zen) Buddhism has been changing based on its cultural context all along. All this name calling, "modern" versus "traditional" is just a distraction.

I'm all in on what David pointed out ...

Just saying it ain't that traditional. I don't think that Buddha or Dogen every spoke (except maybe very indirectly) about war trauma and the economic system.

Makes sense to point people towards what IS within their power to control and manipulate, and to a practical solution for dire stituation, one’s own acts and thoughts, than to throw them into philosophical debates over individual and collective karma, what is karma and what is just conditions .. etc
