    Greetings Wim,

    It is my understanding that Zen, or the Toa, is an underpinning of MOQ. If
    you know little about Zen, how you can fairly criticize the MOQ. If you
    have not investigated Zen, I don't see that you can fairly compare it with
    Quakerism.

    I need no religion to reconnect me to the whole, I am connected to the whole.
