"Enlightenment is for sissies. Living ethically and morally is what really matters."
-Brad Warner
Fellow Ohio native Brad Warner is the champion of this line. An appropriate comment from a punk rock Zen Buddhist priest, and he makes a valid point. I would agree that living ethically and morally is what truly matters; enlightenment is more of a self absorbed journey. Ethics and morals are the cardiovascular system of human compassion. And without compassion we cannot teach and learn, or discover and share.
Brad Warner (1964) is from the Akron, Ohio area; represent. He is known for his bass guitar work in the punk rock outfit Dimentia 13, he directed Cleveland's Screaming which documents the punk scene in 1980's Cleveland and Akron areas, and he is a Soto Zen priest.
