Can't fool a Chan monk!

Today I was sitting in the car in a car park waiting for my daughter to finish acrobatics. And then I was just sitting. And I got a little smile and I was like, stop that sje397, you were fine just sitting here. And the smile got bigger.

Yesterday I think I accidentally swallowed an ocean.

But I've had this strange rash come out all over my body this week too, and haven't quite got to the bottom of it, but chances are it's one of those freaky random things that human bodies sometimes do. I'm not contagious, I swear!

So I'm having a celebratory drink - a toast to the forum and my favorite people here. Bottoms up!

(Jack and Coke Zero does take some getting used to.)

A case that I've been mulling:

Zhaozhou: "Tao is not external to things; the externality of things is not Tao. Then what is the Tao that is beyond things?"

The master struck him.

Zhaozhou, taking hold of the stick: "From now on, do not strike a man by mistake."

The Master: "We can easily differentiate between a dragon .and a snake, but nobody can fool a Chan monk.''
