View submission: Is zazen truly Zen?

Oh wow, I didn’t know about the Bielfeldt email. That’s something. Yeah it’s interesting to me that this is allowed there. Its a very odd sub in that regard. I guess the positive is that if someone is prompted to really look based on his claims, they can find the truth and bolster their faith in their practice. But I wonder why so vehemently opposed to it, I see 10yr old posts saying the same thing. It’s like, who hurt you man?

I found the email with Bielfeldt's response:

I admire you being able to see the positive in this! Take care, friend.
