    Raising a Flower

    Thus I have heard, The World Honored One, before the whole assembly, raised a flower and Mahakashyapa responded with a smile.

          I am a novice priest-in-training. Anything that I say must not be considered as teaching
          and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.

              For Zen students a weed is a treasure. With this attitude, whatever you do, life becomes an art.

                                      Thank you Shokai,

                                      this morning, the Buddha raised another one.

                                          Beautiful Shokai.
                                          After seeing this, what else is there to say?

                                              So, that is Mahakashyapa!? I always thought he looked more like this:
