Marsha: Oh... Yes, we all have our unique experience and interpretations. After all we are all a different constellation of static patterns of value. Your interpretation seems like a smile.
Andre: Thank you for the raft parable Marsha, need to meditate on that one as they usually go deeper than my 'mind' gives them credit for. Secondly, if I am wrong in my interpretation of the MoQ... well I aimed for the moon...missed... and landed among the stars ( love that one) Khoo: Rules are only rules, patterns are only patterns, scafolds are only scafolds and don't let them get in your way of clarity and an undisturbed mind. Best Khoo Hock Aun Andre: Hi Khoo, You have cited one of my favourite parables. Upon first hearing I spontaneously laughed as instant recognition. It was great but some 'women' are hard to get rid of though. Can you give me advice? (I am serious...as always). Serious question: How important is technique in zazen? I cannot get into 'lotus' sit (my knees [operated on] can't bend well) and I have had a hernia operation (bad one) so this also remains a weak spot in my back. In truth, I am a walking wreck. Is there hope for me yet???
