Repeat Question 1: Not Zen? 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?
N/A. I don't have a lineage nor teacher. And I don't practice seated meditation.
Repeat Question 2: What's your text? What text, personal experience, quote from a master, or story from zen lore best reflects your understanding of the essence of zen?
A blind man tilts his head 0.1 degree to the side. Now he can see.
Repeat Question 3: Dharma low tides? 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?
When it is time to read, I read.
When it is time to bow, I bow.
When it is time to chant, I chant.
When it is time to sit, I sit.
