THE CONFERENCE
 |
Conference paradigm: Zen grew out of Buddhism and Taoism and for centuries remained the only one of its kind form of Buddhism. Zen willingly accepts everything true in any religion, recognizes the followers of all beliefs that have reached full understanding; however, he knows that a person whose religious upbringing was based on dualism, despite the great seriousness of his intentions, will long experience unnecessary difficulties before he reaches enlightenment. No one is able to describe enlightenment to another person. To feel it, you need to achieve it yourself. The teacher is able to show the way or help the student with his guidance, but the work itself, like the achievement of enlightenment, depends entirely on the student.
