Obligatory wiki questions :
1) Not Zen?
Q: 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?
A: I do not adhere to a lineage
2) What's your text?
Q: What text, personal experience, quote from a master, or story from zen lore best reflects your understanding of the essence of zen?
A: Wash your bowl
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, sit, or post on r/zen?
A: Ask yourself "what should I do?", then do whatever that answer is.
