Re: Newcomer Attrition in Zen (SPLIT TOPIC)

when people I know start down the path of zen, I usually end of forwarding them this link: http://www.thereformedbuddhist.com/2011 ... -like.html

over the top, but I think it breaks down (comically) much of the preconceived notions that people have of our practice. zen is not only the tranquil beach, but the rusted cars in overgrown weeds. seekers of perfection and harmony will ultimately be disappointed.
