Merle,
Realization is key to appreciating what the Zen masters and mistresses have
been talking about and recommending for 1500 years.
More fundamentally, and prior to or simultaneous with this, is realization of
Buddha Nature, and awakening to no-mind.
THEN we know what the old guys were talking about... and why!
When we're awake, we see that we have not been lied to by the teachings, nor by
teachers.
This makes all the difference to our continued practice.
