Zen emphasizes rigorous self-restraint, meditation-practice, insight into the nature of mind , "perceiving the true nature") and nature of things, and the personal expression of this insight in daily life, especially for the benefit of others. As such, it de-emphasizes mere knowledge of sutras and doctrine] and favors direct understanding through spiritual practice and interaction with an accomplished teacher
My Teacher is travelling in China self restrains has left me and I'm back to being a mindless lout nothing pleases me more that being a big for nothing bully sneering like a buffoon, making ****** comments about grips or writing ******* poetry I am the G-man with no face, a bigoted semi-illiterate deluded and proud, under-endowed but I'm a Zen so that's fine I am a Zen specialist but that's all in my head for I am a mentalist too
