Hi.
Yes. But in Zen there are teachings like
If you meet Buddha on the road, kill him.
What is the difference between Buddha and a dung
stick?
Et Cetetera.
So the Zen side of flute playing may be less
respectful and respectable.
We have to walk between the past and the future,
hierarchy and liberty. I am wary of coming down too
heavy on one side or the other. Balance.
