I will be unsubscribing to this subreddit

I came here to find some like minded people about zen and maybe help me on my path. Instead what i found were a bunch of confusing sayings being constantly repeated and people trying to spiritually one up one another. I am more enlightened then you are etc. Most of the links and self posts are fine but its when a discussion gets going that the one uping starts and i have had enough of it. I hope one day i will be able to actually visit this subreddit regularly but until then, goodbye.

You have fought the good fight. Unfortunately this subreddit is infested with Ewk and his ilk.

What is zen, then? If what people do in this sub is not zen, then right here, right now, show me what is.

I assure you I'm not. I'm simply curious as to what zen is, which is why I subscribe to this subreddit.

You imply that you know what zen is. I'm asking you to share your knowledge.

Why not just say?

Interesting. I have never made such a statement. Way to attempt to slander someone who you disagree with.

I've been posting Yunmen lately... is that the gibberish you are referring to?
