Another interesting blog post:

Zen Buddhism for me has primarily been focused on two things: 1) reaching an understanding of self and worldly existence, 2) using this understanding to live an ethical life. I spent a lot of time on #1. I don’t think I “get” it all but I feel I have enough of a basis–both intellectual and experiential–that #2 has increasingly become more important to me. What choices can one make? How does one follow the precepts and the eightfold path? How can one work towards the enlightenment of all beings?
