[QUOTE="Boozegood:1326132"][QUOTE="ark:1326130"]true true, you know your shit. the demon myths of peoples get blended into it. those are older than man and they stick around. the ancient chinese death practices for example were just added into it and so did their traditional myths. there's plenty of myths and parables in it. i guess prayer/mantra and meditation could almost be the same thing. cut out the myths and sectarian potpourri and there's a nice set of philosophies that are good tools for self-psychology and dropping that ego. it certainly wasn't immune to being warped into a dogma and a tool for control.[/QUOTE] I certainly agree but my point is that the same can be said for Christianity. So where is the line drawn? Just a few parallels would be the reciting of the rosary/Mantra or Lectio Devina/Koan-Zazen. But for some reason people are much more ready to forgive certain religions human-faults and learn from their true ideas than they are others. Certainly the Gospel of Thomas from the Dead Sea Scrolls has Jesus teaching decidily Buddhist-esque philosophy, for example. Or if we are only using cannon Christianity than the "parable of the fig tree" from the Bible rings Zen to my ears. [/QUOTE]
