I learned alot of my concepts of Zen from reading the Tao of Jeet Kune Do.  It wasn't until later that I read Musashi.  But I think my best summation of my search for Zen in my life is best said as...

I spent years searching for the understanding of Zen before I sat down and closed my eyes.

I don't seem so interested in understanding it now, so much as I simply enjoy the moments of Zen that happen in my life.

Zen is shit.  Absolute rubbish.  Brain-fapping.  A prank played on gullible roundeyes by Discordian Asians with nothing better to do with their time.  Peddlers of this swill should be defenestrated, long before they breed.  Really, enough is enough.  It's practicing to make yourself a bliss ninny.

Just saying.

TGRR,
Will make an exception for that Zazzen shit, but only if *I* get to have the stick.  And a clear shot at your fenestrates.

I don't even know what Zazzen is.

You pretend to be a holy person, and if anyone asks you a question, you smack them in the head with a stick.

zazen refers to how you sit while meditating

though I think Roger is referring to the part where you're deep in meditation, and the leader sneaks up behind you and CRACKS YOU WITH A CANE, thereby totally short circuiting your consciousness

Yeah, that part.  Or when you're sleeping.  Or pooping.  Or driving.  I'm not picky.

Wait.  I'm supposed to wait for them to ask a question?

:(

Doin' it wrong.

i think the smacks with a stick are mostly to keep those siting in meditation from falling asleep, day dreaming, or slouching into a comfortable position while doing the serious work of becoming a bliss ninny

What the hell.

That religion was MADE FOR ME!  Only I don't want to meditate.  I get my enlightenment from sex, religious substances, and pissing off my coworkers.  And hitting people with sticks while they contemplate their navels.

WRONG.  The smacks with a stick are because they've been bad little monks and they need to be punished.
