Episode Synopsis
#Post(s) in Question Post: https://old.reddit.com/r/zen/comments/1hpmfum/least_popular_questions/ Who do you think is enlightened in modern times? What Zen texts have you read? What's your practice/doctrine/text? Link to all episodes: https://sites.libsyn.com/407831 # What did we talk about?

Beginner's Mind - poopoo-ing enlightement, not interested in merit, karma, 8fp... but unashamedly claims Zen and Buddhism. 1900's doesn't have much in the way of skepticism in the culture. Everyone is an expert? Low affiliation/Low experience-education sub culture, is it it's own subculture? This "Low-Low" is typified by no big obligation to practice, desire to "share" experience. Popular and Unpopular is... relative? What's an outlier? In Zen? #You can be on the podcast! Use a pseudonym! Nobody cares!
