View submission: Conflicted about Zen Buddhism in general
"I seem to find that buddhists (including zen), are on a quest to come up with the most detailed analyses on how and why existence and the world is a cursed shithole we need to escape ASAP."
In my training I find sort of the opposite. There is no escape. Engagement is important with your community (as in locality). We know why it is a cursed shithole... it is because people are living in their own delusions.
I feel it focuses on taking your practice off of the cushion and not really trying to define why things are... they just are.
There's nothing here!
