@shdw2k6 I have no idea what you are talking about, you do not seem to be able to make a clear point. Maybe english is not your first language. The Zen that I practice has nothing to do with what you are talking about ( whatever that is ). It also has nothing to do with drugs, trances, levitation, psychic powers, seeing colors, etc. I practice meditation to simply calm my mind and stop the internal dialoge. The Zen that I know and practice is nothing like what you are talking about.

Exactly, everything said doesn't say anything. We find the meaning we want behind each word, problem, perceived problem, etc. Doesn't matter what people associate. Association only reinforces belief in said thing that is being associated with. And belief does nothing productive in the real objective reality we live in. Absolutely nothing. If you care of what people associate with Zen, then, meditate on this issue and don't spread it on YouTube, please.

@shdw2k6 The cosmos is not built. How can flow fix itself if it is not broken? If purity and corruption do not exist how can there be problems and how can we be headed down the toilet? What you have said really doesn't say anything does it. This is the kind of crap that people ASSOCIATE with Zen, when in fact Zen is about the discipline of meditation.

Zen and books have nothing in common.

Zen is being entirely connected with ones intuition at the same time as being connected to everything and everyone's intuition. Then, if one opens his ears wide enough and listens, intentionally and willingly, one becomes gifted with flow and true knowledge. Zen is a flawed gimmick. Everyone is Zen inherently. But when you are born, the bullshit of the deprived elders around you influence you into retardedness just so they can have some feeling of control. Control is pure bullshit too.

Association doesn't mean anything, those who are engulfed in the vicious cycle of association see only subliminal messages everywhere. Purity does not exist and neither does corruption. People stand still in a cosmos that is built and reliant on flow. Honest flow. Flow that can fix itself. People becoming too idle. They sit on their buttholes while problems develop. Taoism and Buddhism, or, rather, the modern perception of it, is taking us down the toilet, one day at a time.

Living zen is to have no aim. Being in Zen state is possible in any position, the standard sitting with your legs in a joint destroying position is bullshit. Cows are more Zen than most Zen Buddhist. They do only what is needed to provide survivability to the flow of life. Buddhist monks, they have to consume silk to make their own robes when they could simply go naked. Shame on them.

It is a shame how the drug culture of the 60's has been so associated with Zen Buddhism. Like so many other things America has contaminiated and defiled the name of something that was originally pure. This is just Christians making fun of a non christian religion as best they can. Christianity has caused the death and destruction of more people more cultures than any other religion on earth ( so far ).

@vejaji2 Don't let one video fog your understanding of what Zen is. The Samurai practiced Zen too (to master the blade), and I assure you they weren't hippies.

As one of the actors in this movie I know that we actually quoted much of this from Zen Buddhism books :)
