Thanks for the movie reference. I'll put that on my NetFlix queue. Would this be part of the 1962 series? As long as we're talking movies - any thoughts on "Why Has Bodhidharma Left for the East?" Seen it? I just watched this one again recently. I found it somewhat disturbing, somewhat uplifting... sincere, not overtly trying to impart Zen wisdom, but still containing it. It was interesting following the story of the little boy dealing with his guilt over killing the bird - and his eventual letting go of the guilt, which also freed the bird's mate from it's hangup.

He smiles and says "Everything >is alright now." and he begins a traditional dance with some pilgrims who >are walking by playing some music. I thought that was a good example of Zen. >It was a good movie (Zatoichi The Fugitive). So let's focus on NOW. ------------------------ Yahoo!
