Who are you?
Why does a person need a "Zen" practice when he gets to a higher stage? A British dada posted to Taiwan a long time. One time he laughed at me and announced to the public said, "Everyone pay attention, Ganesh wants to become Ba'Ba'." I answered,: "Why not?" Then, He found out something wrong with his attack. Many Sadhaka capsizes sometimes. Do you know why? He is not there yet. Still, a block after a block means He eats the food but is not digested very well yet. In the Zen world, we say He is riding a horse and still looking for a horse. A sadhaka comes to a zen master, Master asks him,"Who are you?" He is giving many answers. No one is correct. Master says,:" No, not this, No, not that....." Ha!Ha! This master is a polite one. Some will shout at you when you open your mouth and start to say the first letter,.....Some will hit you with his stick and make you feel so pain. Many margii do not understand those zen stories when they read the book of "Biography of Zen Masters". i don't want to break it most of the time. The theory is nothing but a few empty words. Why do you need to write a book? Waste so much time and energy to explain something you don't know.
A simple "zen" practice, most of the time needs 10, 20 years of practice. American margii think they can understand it right away. They think they know a lot. They like to be a teacher. That's why many family acarya comes from American. Numbers are great, but no one knows.
