ewk I think you are losing the plot a bit, you were more with it when I first joined this board, you seem to have lost touch with rational discussion...................

 

anybody can ask a question or state a viewpoint here, what AMA's do well at is bring people who don't have a reddit presence like for instance brad warner and make them available for questioning.........

 

unfortunately for brad he has very poor , like extremely poor general knowledge so did not come off well

in his AMA : o)(

 

because you are not enlightened and have never really removed from your christian based "pushing the scriptures" approach, except you have decided that ECZL , particularly the blue cliff record

are the scriptures that you push . . . . : o)

 

anyway because you are not enlightened and have no genuine insight you imagine that communally or socially accepted viewpoints are the basis for imagining whether something is true or not, but the true zen view is that social entities (like religions !) are inherently wrong, and you can see this with the master's "dialogues"

with wilfully blind monks

 

the real truth of zen which is solipsistic is inherently oppositional to established human norms which is why the 6th patriarch was in danger of being killed/murdered for most of his life !

 

if you didn't "hate" me and would, if in your power attempt to destroy me, then what I say wouldn't be true !

 

if you think what I just wrote is not true, just walk away from the need to try to refute me and not post to me any more, you may try to do this as you have done previously, but like a moth to the lamp or ants to honey you are always drawn back for reasons you can't perceive

 

i really am not asking you to reply to me, I know your view of me, you know my view of you, reddit zen is not short of mad hubric idiots, why not save your attention for them ! :o)
