I just commented this on another post and thought i'd post it seperately to reach more people and get more thoughts on it.
"If all you can talk about are zen texts, then you have nothing to talk about. Express yourself, instead of talking about someone else's expressions. Don't hold it back or hesitate. I think many people on this sub are afraid of going in the wrong when it comes to zen, and therefore don't flow but hold back. Simply passing through the ideas of others. Keeping their own in the shadows. Occasionally showing a mere reflection on the quote. Copying zen texts seems to be the only safe method here to talk about zen. But when you talk to a zen master, do you also restrict yourself by only talking about other zen master quotes?"
Curious towards your thoughts.
