              Very cool, Andy. And if Buddha Nature pervades the entire universe, it's also in the unpacked box.

                That is a very good way of looking at it, William!

                    Hi, Koshin!

                    I really love your altar. It's a poem for me, my friend. Very, very beautiful.

                    As my Buddha I chose three stones from my favorite place in town ... they remind me of the three refuges, and the balance with always possibility of falling (which sometimes happens ops: ), the impermanence of things and that everything in this universe actually is sacred.

                        Really beautiful table Catfish. Actually just a really nice sitting area. Much nicer than my 70's shag.

                          Of course, Zen is not about furniture or Asian flavor. Even though most Buddhist temples tend to have nice ... unbelievably expensive ... furniture.



                          On the other hand, it can be about Asian furniture (I have lots in my house, because I live in an old Japanese house).

                          Putting the Buddha on a delicate Chinese table ... a cheap formica table ... putting Buddha on an old cardboard box ... just the old cardbox box alone ... just emptiness ... all the same really, if the heart is clear.
