MASTERING YOUR MANTRAS AND FINDING YOUR MANDALA WHEN YOU STAND UP ON THE  PODIUM IS A VITAL KEY TO SUCCESS. 

Zen  Proverb (TASSOFT)

ZEN DEBATING S(WORDS)MANSHIP 

In Zen debating speech becomes speechless, thinking becomes not-thinking 
and the speaker becomes the listener. 
opponents,partners,judges,timekeeper,audience and podium all melt into one another. 
The need to separate has gone. 
Zen debating is a spiritual discipline. 
It is another way of pursuing no-mindness. 
The s(word) and s(words)man become one. 
Thoughts and feelings drop away as the s(words)man returns to his original mind. 

Conclusion
This being present, that arises; without this, that does not occur.
