What's a name?

[Dainin]

Hi Jundo,

Thank you for including that quote. I have had similar experiences with SOME (not everyone) folks associated with the Kwan Um School of Zen, founded by Seung Sahn. Some even take on his speech patterns and write how he wrote. I never really found that helpful.

I personally don't find these types of questions helpful, either. I realize why koans are used, but I find that my everyday life presents plenty of koans every second. So much to work with there!

Who do you suppose you are in relation to the group to "test the zenites?"

Now, now folks ... no need to get "testy"! :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Anyway, WHO is getting tested and testy??

Answer: Three Pounds of Flax

Bonus question: Which weighs more? Three pounds of flax, or three pounds of duck feathers?

I must confess that I enjoy a silly topic like this from time to time. It has been a while since I last considered the substance of a name and I thank Will for reminding me. Such a simple question holds such profound insight.

Cheers,
