Why not answer some questions and see if there's one person here who can stump another.
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 saying that your lineage has moved away from Zen and if not, how would you respond to being challenged concerning it?
No teacher, no lineage. Not zen?
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?
It's a time-honored tradition that Linji describes beautifully.
Dharma low tides? (Repeat Question 3) 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, sit, or post on r/zen?
Anything I could say here would be limiting. A few suggestions might look like: going for a walk; talking to a trusted friend; helping someone even though you know they can't pay you back; relaxing on a beach; talking about your favorite ice cream flavor; ask silly questions; tell a joke; ride a bike; go fly a kite; take the kids to the zoo; go camping; float in a pool; call your grandmother; toss a ball around; hit the gym; go to the movies; go people watch at the mall; give someone a surprise gift; write a letter; take a smoke break; have a cold shower; have a warm shower; laugh out loud.
Your turn.
