| Jun 1, 2023 at 20:45 | comment | added | CriglCragl | @Lowbrow: I mean, yeah, pretty much. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersubjectivity#Philosophy Also: "Hershock develops the thesis that Ch'an enlightenment is best understood not as the attainment of an individual state of interior or subjective perfection, but rather as an intersubjective virtuosity and improvisational precedent-less responsiveness, enacted not in any one putative being but in the communicative interstices between all social persons." wuys.com/news/Article_Show.asp?ArticleID=7555 | |

The same rings true for all other religions. | |

The same style of Zen allegedly compatible with murdering people (rooted in 17th C work by Takuan en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unfettered_Mind), Zizek relates to CEOs claiming they are Buddhist while ruthlessly pursuing profit (he claims 80% of CEOs, as per transcript of Capitalism lecture linked above zizek.uk/the-buddhist-ethic-and-the-spirit-of-global-capitalism). He is saying the Buddhist community's unwillingness to speak against these, amounts to hypocrisy. | |

| May 29, 2023 at 17:03 | comment | added | user17652 | While it is true that some Zen figures in Japan supported imperialist violence during certain historical periods, it is crucial to note that many others actively opposed it. Zen Buddhist teachings often emphasize compassion, non-violence, and the interconnectedness of all beings, which can lead practitioners to reject violence and oppression. It looks like Slavoj Zizek had a focus skewed for an unconscious agenda, but I'm not learned in his stuff and don't feel like I would want to be. | |

I suspect that people who answer may answer your summary of them, instead of watching the videos and addressing the originals. So, it probably does already, but be sure that your summary in the question includes whatever argument or view you wanted addressed! | |
