|  Goatboy77 | Mar 21, 2:11pm | It's all over. But I really should have known better than to join a Zen forum. Few people are more thoroughly confused about buddhism than the people who claim it.
Zen is NOT about being obscure and mystical but it seems that's all that most people here are trying to be.
You can't fool everyone. (Not you dewey7, just people.) You can fool those who don't know any better but are you really helping them? No. Confusing people with obscurity isn't helpful, it's just dumb. |
