[MD] How to experience Dynamic Quality

[MarshaV]

Greetings, Dan, David and Andre,

I really don't know anything about Zen Buddhism, but in Buddhism there seem to be two ways to attain Buddhahood:   gradual awakening or sudden enlightenment.  I think somewhere RMP states that his experience was described by a Buddhist as one of the 'sudden enlightenment' kind.  Possibly the path to the DQ experience might be said to be possible from different directions.

He has mastered his craft to the extent that he can be truly creative at the moment when it counts: a very hard cricketball coming at you at 200+ kms an hour over a stretch of 22 yards. Question posed was:'What are you thinking of at the moment the bowler lets the ball fly?'
