      What is Buddha?
      The song of birds and drills, the monk typing away. Does the old Buddha in Tsukuba cover his ears?

        Me sometimes, you other times. Sometimes both and sometimes neither.

          I'm still just starting to learn. I'm not a teacher. Please don't take anything I say too seriously. I already take myself too seriously!

            Buddha is that bird that just knows how to fly.

              Buddha is my wife taking care of a dying patient. Buddha is the patient gratefully accepting care from those around her.
