View submission: Is zazen truly Zen?
Ok that explains a lot. Thank you for this reply! Why is this guy so obsessively opposed to Dogen I wonder. I recently joined that subreddit and I felt something was โoffโ with some members and wondered why these behaviors would be allowed. I appreciate your input ๐๐ผ

I haven't found any Zen in r/zen outside of resorting to the nondual Mumonkan #21 "Buddha is a shit stick" mindset.
On the bright side, the one time I set foot in there, Ewk legit did pull the rug out from under me with his verbal abuse. Then a kind soul pointed me to the old Chan texts. They're fun reading and Huangbo and the Long Scroll (supposedly Bodhidharma's teachings) actually helped my practice a lot.
