                        A slippery fish to catch indeed. Yet that moment when the fisherman does not know if the fish is caught is the most interesting. Nice Sensei Taigu!

                          Haha, thank you Teacher. After three reads I gave up - and it finally clicked.

                            Alman,

                            For me it was 7 reads. A great teaching, and confusing in its simplicity. I think zen practice teaches you a new type of reading, a sort of mindful digestion like after a delicious snack.
                            I took an art class once in high school. I just could NOT draw that damn bicycle. Teacher told me, "Stop looking at the page. Look at the damn bicycle."
