We have an expression for this in Hindi I’m not sure if it translates well – trying to use a sword as a needle. To use mindfulness which is transcendental in nature and can open secrets of the life for few more bucks! Yes, as someone becomes mindful, it does helps to concentrate and focus more and be more creative and productive – but that’s a side product and yes, we still have to earn bread. But to make that the entire aim is not the right direction for that energy.

But Zen is such an open philosophy it won’t mind it and judge it as corrupt or otherwise. It will allow people to naturally see the difference – that they are giving away their diamonds in return of pebbles. Not profitable in my opinion.
