i think that though there are various forms of buddhism that *do* recommend

withdrawl from the world, zen does just the opposite: recommends total 
immersion, from using modest forms of labor and craft as meditation to 
agitating for peace (like thich nhat hanh).  certainly i don't see any 
withdrawl from the world in deleuzian concepts like flow or bwo, but then i

don't see that much zen in them either.
