query:
isnt it hyppocritical for one on the path of zen to denounce activities of any sort, including, but not limited to, intoxication?

is not intoxication a vital step in the path toward zen?
is not zen the cecation to care about good and bad?
then if to denounce something or elate it is not to give it a pseudo sense of good or bad? rigetous or vile?


OR, am i jsut spouting crap? i, for one, would like to know...
