Zen is not control. Common mistake.

There’s some pretty wild shit, but there’s no coincidences.

Not arriving at clarification does not mean the practice has not worked in a meaningful way.

What are you demanding?

Just not what folks are looking for, I guess.

I don’t care whether it will result in ultimate attainment, but I do value every little step.

The best teacher is probably someone who learned the same way you’re learning.
