I understand your point d_rek but I'd like to take exception to your use of the term "zen doctor". In my experience zen philosophy and practice certainly doesn't claim to be any sort of instant cure all, it teaches diligence, patience and simply 'dealing with it' as it is, as you are. Just feel what you are feeling without judgement.
Zen meditation if taught properly would be extremely practical therapeutic technique for addicts and is in fact used for just that all over the world.
Maybe you are thinking about some sort of quack magic doctors which are real of coarse even within Buddhist cultures but that's just out dated traditionalism.
- It's unfortunate you took the phrase literally, since it was not intended that way.d_rek
- But I will keep that in mind for future references to 'zen doctor'd_rek
- i know what your intent was but as I said I took exception to provide something useful to the subjectuuuuuu
- not enough people understand what Zen really is, I doubt you do either otherwise you wouldn't have used the word in the contextuuuuuu
- that contextuuuuuu
