I think we could all do to heed their example. For example, a thing I was thinking of was how Long Covid survivors - and disabled folks in general - are thought of as Bodhidarma-like ascetics who Never Achieve Sexual Climax. Or if you are flirtatious and sensual it means you Jesused yourself well.

Although I’m part of a Soto Zen lineage I find Dogen quite turgid, and the sermons of Bodhidarma much more direct and lucid. Perhaps I’d be better off finding a Rinzai teacher?

I hope you heard about Bodhidarma being so angry about falling asleep while meditating that he cut his eyelids off and threw them outside the cave. The eyelids grew into the first tea shrub. That's why tea has caffeine - so we can stay awake meditating. That's also why he looked like this:

ah yes bodhidarma! yeah apparently they appropriated his teachings with what they already knew, then chan was born, then dogen came along and you know the rest. that's why when reading dogen, i feel like i'm reading part of the daoist canon (daozang)

What I mean is, to paraphrase Bodhidarma, Zen is about perceiving the truth. As a side effect of that a lot of neuroses will tend to clear up. That’s like saying wearing my glasses tended to clear up my headaches when that wasn’t their explicit purpose, but a useful side effect.
