Hi, one morning many moons ago, I was walking to my painting job, apt. Air bnb fix up gig in the Golden Triangle, when while walking up and past the White Wind ZEN Community Buddhist Temple I heard “It’s A Hua Tou!!!”.
You see, I was repeating (actually not mantras these, but I sing them) 😄 “Who is the singer (or speaker) of the Buddha’s name?” I also ask: “Who is the speaker of the Buddha’s mind?” Which makes me ponder differently. Ehm, so ya, the Bhikkhunī, I suppose she is, heard me chanting as I walked by, and she exclaimed! I’m happy this happened.
Signing up for a ZEN workshop there felt great yesterday! Hopefully, I won’t start to slumber at the zazen and get a whack on the back by “Ijiwaruna ōotoko” and his oak stick 🤣
Freggin real ZEN!!!! YA!!!
The seller at Amazon hasn’t shipped La Musique by Mishima yet (could not find a free French pdf)
And Lo & Behold! Kanagawa Wave by Hokusai, just pinned up in my entrance in my condo!
It’s nice hey this ukiyo-e?
I can’t believe I bought one!
Be good to others!
Merci pour la lecture!
Nico
