Message: [QUOTE="Lefty Blue, post: 4338501, member: 286209"] A few things I read in my casual look at Zen Buddhism that I have used in my learning process: with stories to illustrate. Keep it Simple! An Englishman went to Nepal to climb a high mountain. He hired a crew and the leader of the crew said they had to get the blessing of the village guru. So he stopped to see the guru who asked why he had so many people with him. The guru shrugged when the Englishman told him they were needed to carry the equipment. The guru gave his blessing and 3 days later they approached the summit. The Englishman made the crew stop so he could be the first to the summit. When he got there he saw the guru sitting and eating a piece of fruit. Dumbfounded the Englishman asked how the guru got there. The guru looked confused for a moment then replied, "I walked." DON'T MAKE IT TOO COMPLICATED ! [/QUOTE]
