Aside from the sentence "How many experiences continue to consume us because they were never allowed to finish burning?", I'm not sure what to make of this article. But the book it mentions, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind", seems worth taking a look at (an older one, not a promotion).

Yes, the article really only makes sense if you're both practiced Zen and done some intense parallel programming.

"Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" makes more sense in a group setting. I read extracts of it with a Zen priest in a meditation group.
