Thank you for having me on your show, it was an honor to be a guest! Hopefully the viewers can understand my mumbling Swedish accent and overlook my many grammatical errors! Keep up the great work!
The pleasure was all mine! I only did good thanks to the editing skills of your great team. But if anyone wants to see more of my silly face they can check out my own channel here on CZcams. Again, thank you for having me!
It was not the grammatical errors that some would take exception to, but what you said that are really your personal views that other Zen Buddhists would object to as being spoken for some form formal position of Zen Buddhism.
Thank you Carl, it's always nice to hear various Buddhist interpretations and, like you said, we may argue but then agree on the basic teachings. Namaste. P.S. You are cute.
I've been practicing Zen Buddhism in America for a number of years. I have a teacher in Ireland and I think he would definitely agree with Carl that practice is much more important than believing anything in particular. Though studying the teachers is certainly helpful. One thing I do believe is that a strong cup of tea can help if you're feeling tired and want to meditate. I'm glad to know that there is Zen in Sweden.
I just discovered this series and watched a few videos and I love it so much it's fascinating, Seeing an atheist interviewing these religious leaders with sincerity and no "superiority complex" is so refreshing, as an agnostic myself who is interested in religion. Keep up the good work you're seriously underrated ! :D
Well, done, sensei! You really are a cool guy. Your answers ryme well with my understanding of the Dharma, incomplete as mine is. Respect! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
I would like to offer that C. F. Leonhard represents only his own version of Zen Buddhism and does not speak any forms of Zen Buddhism beyond his own. I would like to also offer that Buddhism comprises three traditions: Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism (which has Zen Buddhism in it) and Vajrayana Buddhism. These three forms do have much different views on the teachings of the Buddha and how it is practiced.
Mr. Bowman, I'd also like to offer that I only represent my own version of Zen Buddhism. In fact, how could it be any other way? I speak for no one but myself, and even that is saying too much at times. I claim no authority over anyone or any tradition, who in their right mind would do such a thing?

Thank you for your sincerity.
