zen buddhism
Hi everyone!I suggested putting zen buddhism into the board index so we could talk and understand about zen buddhism.
Buddha:work out your own salvation.Do not depend on other
I am of the nature to grow old.
There is no way to escape growing old.
I am of the nature to have ill-health.
There is no way to escape having ill-health.
I am of the nature to die.
There is no way to escape death.
All that is dear to me and everyone I love
are of the nature to change.
There is no way to escape being separated from them.
My actions are my only true belongings.
I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
My actions are the ground on which I stand.

Hello dharma111,
In case you didn't know, the way Dhammawheel and Dharmawheel are managed, is such that both forum sites are specialised.
In the former, they are dedicated to the Theravada Buddhist teaching, practice and realization perspectives. In the latter, they are into the Mahayana's & Vajrayana's Buddhist teaching, practice and realization perspectives instead.
Also, to avoid confusion between Traditions and allow the clarity & space for definitive discussions of respective Traditions. Hence, you can see a distinction made between matters relating to the Dhamma & Dharma.
From their respective terms of service:
Hope this helps...

Dhamma Wheel is an environment for the discussion of the Theravada.
But some leeway is given ( I presume) when doing some inter-Tradition (e.g Vipassana & Shikantaza) comparatives and I have seen even non Buddhist comparisons done in these two forum sections: 'The Dhamma Free For All' & 'Lounge'http://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3591" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Dharma Wheel is an environment for the discussion of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.
Hope this helps...
Re: zen buddhism
Actually an experientially based discussion comparing Vipassana and Shikantaza is a running theme on ZFI.
Re: zen buddhism
Zen Buddhism is the reason I found this forum. What's the significance of your signature? I love the poem and have seen snippets of it out there online, but don't know what it means in total. Is there a good book you all would recommend to start with as a 'novice?' Most of the books I've read are business/goal oriented, but I would like a more 'organic approach.' Thank you!

Re: zen buddhism
Here is something that I have found interesting lately:
http://bhikkhucintita.wordpress.com/201 ... riants-13/
It is some really well done writing on the Buddha's Meditation and its Variants. You may find some good information there since Bhikkhu Cintita Dinsmore is talking about Zen for the past two posts (at least) I think. It will give you something of a different perspective on it.
