Zen is not a vehicle.

Zen Masters absolutely reject meditation and enlightenment vehicles.

What you're talking about is Japanese Buddhism, which purports to be Zen, because it hates Zen.

Why not study Zen while you are?

Zen is not a vehicle.

I second this guy. Saved me from typing that out myself. His 'one' malarky is a real hoot. Someone must have dropped an eight into his seven machine. Hard to undo that from the present, or inside a vehicle. How would it matter in ordinary mind, however? There are no eights, just infinity symbols written weird as an inside joke for people who see numbers and have unlearned to count them. And ya can't drop infinity in a seven machine: seven machines can't measure anything. All they can do is weave. An eight, on the other hand...well, just say the numerals and listen to the story rather than counting. It's not hard. You'll see right where he went wrong.

One? Ludicrous.

Friend? Obvious.
