Bigjpgh, if you think that I said I study Zen, read what I said again. Repeat what I said over and over again until you truly see what was said. Also, you should understand that even when a Zen master states something about Zen, it is understood that the words themselves' aren't correct because of the fact that all words are subsidiaries or precursors to polar concepts.
Therefore, even if one did state that one studies Zen, which one did not, the accomplished practitioner understands that this is not meant literally, due to the fact that all words pertaining to Zen can never be correct, or incorrect for that matter. It is understood that any descriptions are descriptions of an idea about Zen and not descriptions of Zen itself. The very word Zen is not Zen and therefore, if you truly wish to correct me absolutely, you wouldn't have even typed the word Zen.
Remember, my dear friend, not to try to get envolved with semantics when talking about Zen, as you will always be incorrect yourself when trying to correct someone else. Even my reply to you isn't correct, do you see? Yes, you do, even if you don't.
Kind regards
Your dear friend Gunnaknow
p.s. I think that you agree that we should perhaps leave them to discuss the original topic.
