CCC Interview

1. How is living a Zen life counter cultural?
2. What lead you to this lifestyle?
3. From my point of view enlightenment is a moment of clarity where everything becomes obvious. Can you explain if this statement is true or false?
4. Why is enlightenment so important for Zen Buddhists?
5. Have you ever reached enlightenment?
6. If yes…how was it like.
7. How does people react to your lifestyle?
8. Did meditation really change your way of thinking?
9. Recently, we’ve read the book the Dharma Bums. In this book, they talk a lot about nature and how nature helped the main character to reach enlightenment. Do you use nature if so how do you use? If not do you have another place that really helps you in your meditation sessions?
10. If you would have a tip to give for an apprentice Zen Buddhist, what would it be?
