i thought i'd learn something reading this, i did, but thank u for wasting my time. basically, the 'west' is pissed off that Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, Confucianism none of these originated west of Greece. it suffers from a sort of not invented here syndrome. so its got to be bad right? Silent teaching being the pinnacle of attainment of these isms could only lend kamikaze pilots the moral ammunition to bomb pearl harbor yet the rational and enlightened west is justified in returning the favor with hiroshima and nagasaki that somehow isnt atrocious and doesnt blemish either on reason or aristotle, the granddaddy of them all. no other nation other than Japan would have forgiven USA for the bombs. every other nation would have prepared themselves to take revenge. care to spend a second to think that this could be because of the same 'fatalist' buddhism/zen? to be honest this happened once b4 in the opposite with emperor ashoka on the battlefield of kalinga when he saw all those soldiers dead and their loved ones grieving, proceeded to take yes buddhism and dismantle his empire -- why didnt USA do what ashoka did after hiroshima and nagasaki? -- man of reason until then. losing your reason and tapping into the 'It' inside you thru introspection is the point of these isms. now how can the tao/zen/buddhist masters take moral responsibility for the suicidal japanese military as much as aristotle take moral responsibility for the atom bomb? no, no, lets throw the baby out with the bathwater. we have these weapons to test on real people. lets reason the pros and cons and still go ahead and drop them on their 'zenglightened' heads, that will teach them reason....that it was better to kill them so others could live.
