Zen monk insights

Post by befriend »

Do some zen monks talk about their insights from mindfulness practice? That would be interesting to hear about their experiences from long term monks. I think theravadan monks aren't allowed to talk about their insights? Or are theravadan monastics not allowed to disclose only supernatural powers?

As far as I know that the Theravada monks are not allowed to disclose their attainment or perform supernormal powers to lay people.
