What's Yer Man on About...?

Someone interviewed me for their blog regarding my curious take on Buddhism (whatever that is). It's a blog consisting of many such interviews from people of various religions; an interesting project (if you're into that sort of thing).

You can read my bit if you promise not to quote me, or take it at all seriously! I'm a very lacklustre buddhism-ist at the best of times...

Good interview. I'm not an official Zen practitioner, but I am, I guess, 'Zen friendly.' I don't practice officially because most of the 'masters' and/or 'teachers' seem weird as hell and not very, ahem, "enlightened" at all. From the little I've gleaned from your blogs and from your comments at Warner's site, I think you've got more to offer than most. Not that my opinion is that important, as my wife will tell you, I'm often terribly wrong. But I enjoy your thoughts.

Thanks, Manny. Well I'm no master, but noticing and really acknowledging that we're often wrong is, I think, very advanced practice.

Regards,

Harry.

I could not or would not answer any of those
questions. Explain the emptiness of
emptiness to them Harry.
