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.

(So more than 2 other people on here get the joke: look up the 6th Century monk Bodhidarma.)

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?

More practical: academic career advice how-to or staring at a wall for nine years in a cave?

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)

Alors pour l'anecdote.
Daruma c'est soit Bodhidarma, soit prostitué 🤣
Nin 人 étant un compteur de personne ou pour personnifier justement.

Donc Darumanin, c'est soit la personnification du 28e patriarche de Buddah, soit d'une pute.

Faites en ce que vous voulez 👀

Hi David! — Am currently bouncing back and forth between these two. Both histories ancient and present.

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.
