Zencast

I'm listening to the one on "Doubt" right now. The speaker just mentioned that Zen doesn't really encourage too much self-examination, because you get too caught up in a swirl of thoughts and feelings and it distracts from the practice of mindfulness (awareness).

Sounds true (for me, anyway). I get pulled into that vortex very easily; it's unproductive. Better just to drop it and move forward.
