View submission: Is zazen truly Zen?
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.

I do also see the bright side. This whole attitude led me to research the validity of his claims, and look for the evidence. I need to go over the long scroll too!
