Zazen, it's funny you chose that CPID. What is the sound of one AM6 flying?????
I chose this CPID because one of my hobbies is the study of oriental philosophy. I am a Christian by birth but practice a form of Buddhism known as Zen. Zen Buddhism is a form of Buddhism that has no written dogma per se, but is based almost entirely on meditative practice (I'm simplifying for the layperson's benefit).
Zazen, is actually a Japanese word that, literally translated, means 'to sit', as in sitting in meditative contemplation. This was especially applicable to me when I started AW back in 1992 as I was disabled as a result of a tragic accident and confined to a wheel chair much like Whels is now. Seven years, three major surgeries, and 3 years of physical therapy later I have regained practically full use of my lower extremities again. But, I still practice Zen to this day, it is an integral part of my life.
