Buddhists, like Christians, believe that there are supernatural truths about life that can be written down, read, and explained.
Zen Masters say no, there are no such truths.
Buddhists and Christians say that regardless of who tells you these supernatural truths, those truths are always true.
Zen Masters say no, "an insincere man expounding a true dharma makes it false".
- If a guy who cheated on his wife told you he was a Zen Master, would you believe him? https://www.reddit.com/r/zen/wiki/sexpredators
- If a guy who cheated his way through college told you he was a Zen Master would you believe him? Dogen was in his twenties when he plagarized his college essay.
Buddhists believe in gurus and messiahs because Buddhists believe in the supernatural truths affirmed by these messiahs.
Foyan: As s soon as you accept and approve anything, recognizing it as your own, you are immediately bound hand and foot and cannot move.
You can't study Zen and have faith in spiritual predators or sex predators.
