Will I get enlightened if I sleep with my Zen teacher?


















Nope! Only a zen fool ends up in bed with a foolish zen master!

Unless, maybe it could be karma?  Nope!!! "Even if causes and effects are destined to place one in danger, preventive measures can decrease or even avoid the suffering that would have otherwise occurred. The point is that cultivating virtuous and wholesome deeds can change the process of causes and conditions coming to fruition . Hence it is possible to change one's fate."....Master Sheng Yen in  Things Pertaining to Bodhi, pg. 57

These websites are essential reading (listening) for men and women.
