What is a Zen Talk, Dharma, and The Buddha

Dharma Talk v.s Zen Talk

• Dharma is the truth as seen from a Buddha
• The Dharma is what a Buddha says from what they see/observe.

Best way to listen

• Use your critical thinking
• Don’t just believe because someone said it

Ask questions

• No such thing as a stupid question
• Every question will have a different answer! Even if the same question has been asked.

Be Carefulof what you read

• Lots of garbage zen books out there!
• Many Zen books impart nihilism and deny the soul
• Many Zen books is about the Japanism and the LARPING (Live Action Role Playing) lifestyle, and not about actual Zen
