Instructional Note: This Is the Story of How We Begin to Forget: Zen and the Art of Not Teaching Writing

Kevin Davis

Abstract

The third goal of Zen practice, helping others achieve enlightenment, suggests that we should help students learn about their own composing practices and histories as part of their instruction, but we cannot help others until we learn to help ourselves by reflecting on our own processes and histories, becoming enlightened, and liberating ourselves.
