"Saving all 'sentient beings'" is pie-in-the-sky evangelistic idealism.

Absolutely stuka dear,

In my experience as a Soto Zen student, the way we approach practice of Dharma and the skills developed though zazen makes me feel we are more much closer to Hinayana than that of Mahayana... And what is more... the practice of Soto Zen is more related to the Arahat ideal than that of the Bodhisattva.
