My Great Realization

Re: My Great Realization

It's like the whole world stops, and each thing manifests itself as Buddhadharma. There is great light, and the universe speaks through a single blade of grass...

Then the teacher walks up, smacks us on the back of the head (politely) and says "Hey! The floor isn't going to clean itself you know!"

I really like that this image, especially the teacher asking you to clean the floor. One can't forget the present, thinking about how rad the universe is.

Grass derives the most joy from being played upon.

Here, here!

States of mind appear and disappear
And can not be relied upon.
Life and death appears and disappears
And cannot be relied upon.

With that being said:
My morning started late.
Time for Zazen.
Stomach is grumbling.

Wet paper wouldn't really cut, would it?

Re: My Great Realization

Wet paper wouldn't really cut, would it?

that's a varnish-impregnated enameled paper made in a secret laboratory in Sweden from the washed-ashore shells of blue crabs and a very rare starch distilled from an endangered plant in Siberia, said paper manufactured in extremely small batches with superior quality-control monitored by a room full of computers in Richmond, Virginia, underground of course, (disguised, incidentally, above ground as a public fountain), all this accomplished in extreme secrecy and guarded by the finest of security systems derived from captured alien technology, for the express purpose of giving paper cuts to unsuspecting fish.

I of course abhor the whole enterprise and wish I had had the forethought earlier in life to go to law school so I could file mountains of lawsuits against those bastards in Sweden on behalf of all the fish swimming around in chronic pain.

As for regular paper, no of course not. :wink:

MWHAHAHAHA!! that was a laugh much needed! Sounds a lot like a simpson's plot.

Thanks for the whole thread!
