19th January

Sorry. Connection problems again.

"All this Zen stuff is nonsense," said the sceptic.
"You are perfectly correct," responded the master,
"but this is a teaching I normally reserved for only
my most advanced students."

For me this text illustrates very clearly the path that we are all walking. One sets out on the path thinking there is something to achieve and something to learn. This is the path that we are walking together in this blogger. As we get further through this teaching we will find that everything that has been said up to that moment was a lie, indeed this last sentence is also a lie. This is the highest teaching of Zen.
