I just want to give you the opportunity to look at the need to write so much. By the way, I think your two post on dukka at NDS were great. I totally agree, people enjoy their dukka, specially those with imagination enough to elevate it to drama. Obviously, there is genuine misery in the world, and I'm just talking about well fed, middle class, prozac popping, industrialized world whiners. You should post those here too.

Zen in America is just too kyoot to be believed; in Japan it's another story, they really hate you hate each other and themselves; zen if for dying. a basic Japanese dictionary will tell you, the kyosaku is for bad student in a bad posture or falling asleep.
