who is challenging?

What text, personal experience, quote from a master, or story from zen lore best reflects your understanding of the essence of zen?

What do you suggest as a course of action for a student wading through a "dharma low-tide"?

i don't know.

What do you do when it's like pulling teeth to read, bow, chant, sit, or post on r/zen?
