Tak , see my posting right above.

Didn'T you once said you were into Aikido and Zen, or do I mistake your with somebody else? Direct tradition, sudden and full insight, the mistrust in written tradition - all that should not be anything new to you, then, nor shouzld the names of Hui Neng, LinChi (Rinzai) and Huang Po.

Yes, yes, I've read D. T. Suzuki too.

Reading Suzuki does nothing, but at least should prevent false "knowing" of theoretical info. But spiritually, every book is one book too much. I have given all my former books away (including those by Suzuki), all except one that is special. I could as well have "stormed the library" and burned them. But I lacked the audience to give sense to such theatralic acting.
