Why wouldn’t companies just set themselves up as the exchanges in that scenario?

I don’t think it would functionally change anything

Kinda like artemis but with AI?

I am like cursorily interested in “non-mainline” schools and branches in case they’ve got something interesting to say, but for me nothing aside from the Huineng-style “instant enlightenment” really even makes sense. How groups engage with those ideas and how they may disagree can be interesting to me, but basically only from the standpoint of… “will they demonstrate that what I THINK makes sense actually doesn’t?” but so far I haven’t found such an argument or standpoint to be convincing.

D.T. Suzuki’s Zen Doctrine of No Mind is all about the distinction between Huineng’s teachings and the what is known as the Northern School.

I actually am not too personally interested in the “debate” because the next like 700 years of what everyone agrees is “zen” all seems to teach the same thing that Huineng taught.

I mostly agree, but I can also envision a situation in which you don’t want the people that you’re doing recognizance on covering up their illicit activities because they’re listening to the police radio. A good compromise would be to record the encrypted traffic and make it public some arbitrary but fair length of time after the fact.

Ever listen to the ocean?

On Reddit, it depends on the subreddit. Some of them I don’t care about usernames at all, but on smaller or more specialty/niche subreddits there actually can be a “community” of people who learn about each other

I imagine it can be similar here

I… think questioning their legitimacy is justified, but would agree that I’d prefer for this space to not be dedicated to that conversation.

FWIW, I can see your post

I like to imagine using multiple translations as a kind of triangulation on the original intent. It’s often not necessary, but when there’s something that makes absolutely no sense to me at first, that’s the initial step I like to take

I think it’s hard to say at the moment with so few people on Lemmy and even fewer in this community. I think playing it by ear to start is my plan

It’s one of my favs. Lots of different translation options (for portions of his record anyway) that help to make what he says quite clear

Another example of this they I think is most striking is the infamous teaching from Huangbo (as translated by John Blofeld) “Dharma original Dharma not Dharma, not Dharma Dharma also Dharma, now transmit not Dharma Dharma, Dharma Dharma how-can be Dharma” (more sanely translated (also by Blofeld) as “The fundamental doctrine of the Dharma is that there are no Dharma’s, yet that this doctrine of no-dharma is in itself a dharma; and now that the no-dharma doctrine has been transmitted, how can the doctrine of the dharma be a dharma?”)

The term “Dharma” has a bunch of interrelated meanings. “Law,” “teaching,” “doctrine” and even “phenomena”.

Given this it should be clear huangbo and huineng are saying the same thing

This text really does distill so much of what is taught by the zen school into a short volume.

Don’t seek, don’t dwell, don’t try to stop mental activity, don’t make something special out of preferences, don’t struggle with the problems we create for ourselves, etc.

The entire zen tradition often feels like it’s repeating this in more and more elaborate ways.
