:)I'd love to sit here and chat with you but I've got to clean my rice
bowls and beat my students with sticks when they don't "get" the
Buddha nature of a dog, or the sound of one hand clapping....I tell
them 'Mu', but they don't listen, the brats! Students of Zazen ain't
what they used to be, let's face it.

Remember, the stiff branch breaks, while the soft branch yields and
survives, and the highest good is like water....it flows where men do
not go, etc., etc.
