If a man says he needs and wants to sleep with that particularly female Zen Practionner. Should she sleep with him?

@Sakedrinker007 to count repeating actions in practice, like bows

Fools only learn from pain,

Sinds a wise man has learnt to live without pain...

Should I save people from suffering? Why? Why should I rob people of the ultimate teacher?

[kan0r]

Why not?

I don't know if you've found your answer to this question yet, but my advice is to help when you help and let things be when you let them be. these questions do not change your actions, have faith in yourself.

@1iloveilovei1 and then die in the end and let eternity forget you

Suffering can never be a teacher. It only perpetuates ignorance. Thus, one's needs to be awakened by a teacher which is knowledge of one's nature in order to be free from suffering due to ignorance. One can suffer forever without knowing because suffering can never be a teacher. In fact, there are people who are obsessed with suffering and considered it as their reality.

yeah, but zen its about to give the right amount of energy to every thing, i mean if i want a car i would buy one, but if the car cost to much and purchasing the car would be a sacrifice, i wont do it, because the car its just a tool that we use to go to one place to another, there is no justification about why should expend to much in a ferrari if any other car can do the same, the best way to described is if you want to eat them eat if you want to sleep them sleep do not think to much about

So Zen means not how to avoid life and death, but how to be ready now for both.
