Koan
A "pagan" asked Buddha, "With words, with silence, will you tell me (the Way)?" Buddha silently kept meditating. The "pagan" bowed and thanked the Buddha, saying, "With the compassion you have cleared away the clouds of my mind and have made me enter into the awakening." After he left, Ananda asked the Buddha what he had attained. The Buddha said, "A good horse runs even a shadow of the whip."

Don't bend the knee the wrong way it goes snap
even a blind man
sniffing autumn's early breeze
can ask, "who farted?"
Stop talking this silly blasphemy, De Pope commands it!
Gasan instructed his adherents one day: "Those who speak against killing and who desire to spare the lives of all conscious beings are right. It is good to protect even animals and insects. But what about those persons who kill time, what about those who are destroying wealth, and those who destroy political economy? We should not overlook them. Furthermore, what of the one who preaches without enlightenment? He is killing Buddhism."
I am reading Zen The Art of Happiness right now. Hoping it will help with the major anxiety I am experiencing. Like the saying a lot Murk!
