      @TheCombatist @BuddhistGeeks If you take Buddhism seriously, it doesn’t make sense as we have inherited it. Full of contradictions. 1/2

      @Meaningness @TheCombatist @BuddhistGeeks perhaps it’s not supposed to make sense. ;)

      @Meaningness @TheCombatist @BuddhistGeeks my point was that contradictions are part of the beauty of zen.

      @Meaningness @TheCombatist @BuddhistGeeks to quote Prof. Hofstadter, sometimes I feel like I understand all of Zen, other times none of it.

      @nslater @BuddhistGeeks Thanks, no, I haven’t. You realize he’s the same person as Rajneesh, the Hindu guru? His Zen may not be orthodox :-)

      @Meaningness @BuddhistGeeks yep. And I don’t care much for orthodoxy. His teachings are syncretic, and I really enjoy that.

      @nslater @BuddhistGeeks Most of “Buddhism” is actually 1800s Western occultism. We know better what’s wrong with that than with “Buddhism.”

          @Meaningness @BuddhistGeeks oh, I can certainly believe that. Perhaps like how Wicca was invented at the turn of the 20th century.

          @nslater @BuddhistGeeks Yes, very much parallel—there were even some of the same people involved.
