Hi Fletcher,

Yes... it will be odd what I will share you...

I highly suggest Soto Zen Tradition. It makes accent in the way of living daily life and in a meditation technique named Zazen. All this do not need any kind of academic curricula or any special academic ability. Also we do not learn through intellectual struggle as a main way of practice... Just try...

Look, I have been into academia all my life... I am anthropologist and Human Ecologist and Zen has been for me a new and wonderfull way of learning far from academic and intellectual debate and it is really encouraging... is like fresh new air. I still do academics because of my job. I work for an academic project about Cultural Accepted Violence in a female Prison and I have to debate almost daily because of the nature of academic life.

But Zen, is very different... our practice is far from intellectual struggle and analysis. Is a kind of direct understanding, through zazen, of the very nature of stillness of mind and direct discernment about things and life. For Right View, there is no need to argument, debate and struggle. We just let it happen.
