Steve,
As my first estimate, Buddhism is a /worldview/psychology/philosophy/religion/ in a ratio of about /45/40/10/5/. -ED --- In [email protected], "SteveW" <eugnostos2000@...> wrote: > > Hi Anthony. > This brings us back to the question of whether or not Zen is actually Buddhist, and whether or not it is a philosophical approach to life. I personally think that it is both. The link to the article which I posted demonstrates, imo, that it can be regarded as a philosophy of life. And the fact that people take it up in order to transcend the dukkha of life demonstrates that it is a Buddhist form of philosophy. Those people who say that Zen is just the art of living in the present moment seem to be dodging the question of why they took up Zen in the first place, and why living in the present moment is better than not living in the present moment.
