View submission: Conflicted about Zen Buddhism in general
Try studying more Buddha Nature teachings. Mahayana takes a different approach then early Buddhist teachings. In early Buddhism the goal is to leave this "shit hole" as quickly as possible. Mahayana takes the non-dual approach and says that samsara is Nirvana. There is no "shit-hole" to leave, and no nirvana to go to as the Heart Sutra says. This only makes sense when studied from the early teachings to Mahayana.
There's nothing here!
