I hit you one-hundred times! Nothing is 'disallowed', but multi-tasking does not lend itself well to being one with your actions. 'When sitting, just sit - when walking, just walk. Above all don't wobble!'. That's a paraphrase of a zen saying addressing this same issue. I know there are people that can multi-task better than others. Perhaps there are people that can multi-task and still maintain a oneness with their actions. I can't, and from the teachings and writings of all the patriarchs it appears they couldn't either. These teachings are not ambiguous on this point. ...Bill! ------------------------ Yahoo!
