PS I assure you I still have a lot of amusing posts coming, which I hope will not exhaust your Buddhist calm and composure for being [i]incorrect, simplistic and shallow.{/i]
Exhaust it, that's what it's there for. And you knew two of the three qualities I mentioned about the posting already, as you well know. As for amusing posts - keep them coming, it takes my mind off my stiff legs.

Zen Saying

Sitting quietly, doing nothing,
spring comes, and the grass
grows by itself.

True bliss

Sitting quietly, doing nothing,
On a full stomach, that is bliss.

"Woke up this morning with my mind/
Stayin' on Jesus."

When the world is in accord with the Tao,
fast horses are left to fertilize fields.
When the world is not in accord with the Tao,
war horses are bred in the countryside.

There is no greater fault than ambition,
no greater curse than discontentment,
and no greater sin than greed.
The one who is contented with contentment shall always be contented.


-- Laozi

The real trouble

Forgiveness is not the trouble, forgetting is the trouble.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
