Suppose a person denotes your lineage and your teacher as Buddhism unrelated to Zen, because there are several quotations from Zen patriarchs denouncing seated meditation. Would you be fine admitting that your lineage has moved away from Zen and if not, how would you respond?
Zen isnt doing any particular activity, unless it is.
>What text, personal experience, quote from a master, or story from zen lore best reflects your understanding of the essence of zen?
Ordinary mind is Buddha.
What do you suggest as a course of action for a student wading through a "dharma low-tide"? What do you do when it's like pulling teeth to read, bow, chant, or sit?
Investigate this experience that you label as pulling teeth, investigate the self that is having the experience.
