beliefs are the root cause of agony (Introduction)
Man is the only creature we can say with certainty that can give himself aim... > This of course assumes that we have free will. If we don't we can't give ourselves anything?-An odd statement. The capricious nature of man itself is a testament to free will. Though you have not spent much time in Zen practice...-I would suggest "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" by Suzuki. The entire practice of Zen is a study in exercising free will.

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"
\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
