My Zen Koans and Meditation Practices & Things I wish to share

As I stand looking down into a clear waveless pool of water, the earth below the water remains clam as does the water above it.  I bend picking up a concrete block holding it above the water.  I drop the block and it settles on the bottom.  When I dropped the block there wasn't a splash and the block lay on the bottom not even disturbing the mud it hit as it lay motionless one the bottom of the pool of water.

If, I, were you, who would they be?

A man came to me one day and begged me to train him.  He said I swear to follow everything you tell me to do without hesitation. I said to the man ok, come with me and he followed up a hill we went to the top, stopping him, I said look around nothing here but trees.  And he replied, what type of training is this?  I gave him a blind fold and said, put this on and run as fast as you can and don't stop until you drop of shortness of breath.  He looked at me and said, what are you crazy, I will run into a tree! Some still ask why I prefer not to train those that ask. I look at them and laugh!

To become one with everything Is to become one with nothingness Which is everything

I roam the valley of Death, I have no Fears, For no man enters Here.
