one who is sceptical about writings.

If you believe that, you have never worked for an
established publishing company! They all get a lot of
manuscripts from people who think they can write, but
who can't.

If I am correctly informed, Kung Fu is a concept in
Chinese philosophy, not in Theravada Buddhism.

Personally, I don't believe blindly in any writing,
not even in our own canonical ones - as they
themselves are warning us not to do; nor in the letter
of Frank Kuan.

The fundament of Buddhism is fundamentally
anti-fundamentalistic.
