Bill!,

This is just for you, from Ch'an Master Hongzhi, of China, contemporary of 
Dogen, of Japan.

Hongzhi taught the method of "Silent Illumination", and wrote extensively on 
it: his famous poem "Silent Illumination"; and, commentaries.

One line of commentary is just for you:

"Therefore it is said, 'Having the Dao of no-mind, one can be like this; having 
not yet gained no-mind, it is extremely difficult!' "

(we can all learn from this.  But you won't have to.  You could have written 
it.  In fact, I think you DO, here, regularly!)
