Tuan-chiao:
The matter of life and death is important: impermanence is swift. Aspirants to Zen all understand the path, but when you ask them why we live and why we die, ten out of ten are dumbstruck. If you go on this way, even if you journey through the whole world, what will it accomplish?
-Cleary's bastard Teachings of Zen

ewk book note index - People often come into this forum and refuse to quote Zen Masters, all while talking about "the path"... why do they think it is the same path then? More to the point, if their "path" isn't the same, why would they want to associate it with Zen? If their path, if their teachers, are as awesome as advertized, why isn't there a forum for those people that is so wildly popular that the Zen forum is abandoned to those few who rummage through old sayings?
Dumbstruck.
