Christians of all flavors don't want to hear that, as you can see. But it is a true statement. I am a Christian but I don't deceive myself into thinking my faith is pure and not poisoned by Western culture and thought. I've found Zen practices to be a good antidote for that poison. Instead of flaming me, just wake me when all the obese, gluttonous believers get rid of their passive entertainment household gods.
“ I’ve found Zen practices…”
What would those practices be?
Practice, of course, is not necessarily theology or philosophy.
But without the theology or philosophy, how is it “Zen practice” and not just meditation?
It’s similar to yoga which can be done as just an athletic/physical exercise, ignoring the theological roots.
