Zen Fellowship of Bakersfield: What Is "True" Zen Practice?
http://zenbakersfield.blogspot.com/2015/07/what-is-true-zen-practice.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. What Is "True" Zen Practice? When the American Zen Association republished Deshimaru’s The Ring of the Way. The title became The Way of True Zen. Some have objected that “true” Zen is either an arrogant claim that Deshimaru’s is the only “real” Zen or that “true” Zen (being always paradoxical) is an oxymoron, at least for those allergic—and perhaps hypersensitive—to any hint of dogma. Firmness, balance, and wisdom. These are the attributes of true Zen practice.

Sunday, February 2, 2014. Nishijima is Dead, Are You More Alive Than He? I almost didn’t come to zazen today.
