You know, the irony for me in the opq is that the kind of buddhism I find value in is the one where you don't think about fucking buddhism.

Nah, I don't know much about Zen Buddhism. I think Aegon has talked about it quite a lot, may be wrong, but pretty sure my book is not about that. I'm sure it's along similar lines though.

I'm sorry if I'm being dense, but I don't follow... what's the type of Buddhism where you don't think about Buddhism?
