Communism & Zen Fire, Zen Wind

Explores the myth of Communism - equality for the few, not the many.

You can give equal opportunity for growth, but the growth will bring unequal persons.
Somebody will become a scientist and somebody will become a shoemaker; somebody will become a great novelist like Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekov, Dostoevsy or Gorky, and somebody may become just a flutist. Everybody needs equal opportunity to grow unequal!

But as far as spirituality is concerned, everybody can be equally a buddha. That is true communism, deeper, higher, more authentic.
And if we can create a situation, an education for people to understand their inner being, they will come out of it with great compassion, with love for every being. They will have a tremendous reverence for life. They cannot exploit. In fact, spiritual communism should be first; only then can the economic communism follow it as a shadow.
