Of past conditions, of not knowing

I say Mr BYJ is zen like. My friend says he is Theravadin. I think he is more zen like.

Actually now that I look back, he is more Theravadin. So why did I insist he is more zen like?

Is it because I like zen more and know how the middle path is expressed in zen (past conditioning) better than how it is expressed in Theravada?
Partly i think.

Is it because I feel he should be a Mahayanist as he loves animals?
Can't be sure, a lack of penetrative wisdom. Nevertheless,it is an erroneous assumption.


Or is it because I am plain stubborn that I reject all other views other than my own?
Yes, and I think this should be the main reason.
