Zen master Seung Sahn and taoist Miao

Sorry, my reply was a little rude. Retaliation. I'm fiercely independent...which means there's something going on here which needs dissolving. Independence is good....but not if it's in recoil from something perceived as unpleasant. In general, I don't trust people. It's a prisoner's reaction to the perceived harshness of being imprisoned. The reaction helps to solidify the bars in the cell.

Anyway, I'm intrigued by your endeavor to unify the laser-like and unifying empty focus of Zen and the diverse, exploratory nature of Shamanism.
