ThatKir's /r/Zen Blogpost: Entry 5

  1. Got an IRL block on the basis of 'not having figured myself out' after my incessant questioning of horsetrainer's intolerance-of yet illiteracy-in Zen culture which flip-flopped into an intolerance-of-me.

    But that's all just flip flopping.

  2. Got (surprise!) AMA'd at work about "Are you Buddhist?" "Do you Yoga??" "Were you x in a past life?" "Are you ever not calm???" LAME SAUCE, AHAHAHAHA. AMA! AMA!

    In a community where users can be arbitrarily kicked out of participation by the religiously-offended, such as /r/Zen, isn't that the extent of what any Q/A would consist of? Dead-end questions about stuff as equally untopical?

  3. In the news: Alcohol consumption gives you the stupids...so does 'mild' covid.

  4. I continue to recommend this work both from a history-is-fun perspective and for its citations of the tail-end of translated Zen Masters. I haven't found anyone else who has read it yet.

  5. What Zen cases have you come across and propose might be need of re-translation? Here are a few:

    GC: Case 40

    Measuring Tap: Case 30

    BoS: Case 87
