hi joe and all i read this this morning as part of my learning.. great messages..the poetry is beautiful..
i also note that much of what is stated is very much what edgar has been discussing.. so why are some of us always questioning edgar and his reality statements?.. edgar's finger is on the pulse so to speak... zen is not a competition to see who is able and who is not.. we are all students surely?.. who has reached the pinnacle of "buddhahead"?.. when they might say they do are they then not needing to go back to the very beginning return to the source?... whilst in thailand in 1974 i visited the lying down buddha..or is it the sleeping buddha..bill would know... can we practise meditation lying down as well as seated in chair standing walking..and dare i say on the handwoven mat in the dusty hall.. woops i am slipping sideways...attention attention...attention... i note joe that your friend john has passed away... so sad...take care..merle http://mro.org/zmm/teachings/daido/teisho61.php "those who know that enough is enough will always have enough" ~~~~~~ lao tzu
