Zen is Extinct - Philosopher - 06-14-2010
Zen was flying high among the clouds, free and magnificent.
A shotgun went off.
Zen dropped like a bag of bricks.
The feathers of Zen were taken,
While the guts were thrown to the side.
Zen was stuffed and left on a shelf.
"What a great bird" the neighbors said.
Stiff and featherless like a Chicken,
But without any taste.
What an end to Zen!

I do not say there is no Ch'an: it's just that there are no any teachers.

You need a Zen MASTER to get zened!? Surely, you jest.
Shirley... don't make me laugh.

Well, Shirley, I DO admire a guy who had this exchange when he came down from the mountains. (btw, he was supposedly close to 7' tall)
Monk, meeting Huang Po on his descent: "Magnificent! Imposing! Where have you come from?"
HuangPo: "Magnificent and imposing, I've come from the mountains."
Monk: "What have you come for?"
HuangPo: "Not for anything else."

Huang Po is very sharp!

Not sure what you mean P.
But zen is not instinct! Its practiced everywhere around the world...
Zen is a houseold concept now, compared to other forms of buddhism,
which are not so well known...

Oh does your wang Huang Po
does it swing to and fro?
Can you tie it in a knot?
Can you tie it in a bow?
