Andre,

"Zen opens a man's eyes to the greatest mystery as it is daily and hourly performed; it enlarges the heart to embrace eternity of time and infinity of space in its every palpitation; it makes us live in the world as if walking in the garden of Eden."

      (D. T. Suzuki)


Do you have anything to post other than your opinion of Marsha?  Duh!

Mystics are very clear about the difference (for example) between DQ and sq. Certainly Zen is very clear on this as well. A short quote from D.T.Suzuki:
> " As in everything else, but most particularly in Zen, all its outward manifestations or demonstrations [sq patterns] must never be regarded as final.They just indicate the way where to look for the facts.   Therefore these indicators are important,we cannot do well without them".(Essays in Zen Buddhism, p 21)
