Austin is Wierd
I didn't know what to do.
I moved to a city that is of
music so much so that the ground
vibrates from so much bass. I
like (loud) music (not) . . . Almost as much as
quiet.
Austin is wierd.
Shut Up!
I can ear U!
(Note: Every band worthy of calling themselves a band
is here in Austin for a festival. When I started the drawing
the ground shook. Yesterday I was trying to meditate and
the ground shook. My wife was driving down the street
today and the ground shook. It ain't good for the ground
to shook so much!)
(Note 2: When I wrote note one it was quiet, but now
I hear drums again. AND IT IS BEDTIME! 11 PM ALMOST.
Don't they know what Ben Franklin said... "early to ..."
Oh, that's better. They are quiet now.)

Great Class
I went 2 a great class
2night. I didn't learn
anything. Now 4 the
real challenge -- to dive
off the hundred foot pole.
Buddhist Koan, CASE 46.PROCEED BEYOND THE TOP OF THE 100 FOOT HIGH POLE
Master Sekiso said, "You are at the top of the 100 foot high pole. How will you make a step further?" Another Zen Master of Ancient Times said, "One who sits on top of the 100 foot pole has not quite attained true enlightenment. Make another step forward from the top of the pole and throw one's own body into the 100,000 universes."
Mumon's Comments:
Should there be any who is able to step forward from the top of the 100 foot pole and hurl one's whole body into the entire universe, this person may call oneself a Buddha. Nevertheless, how can one step forward from the top of the 100 foot pole? Know thyself!
Should one be content and settle on top of the 100,000 foot pole,
One will harm the third eye,
And will even misread the marks on the scale.
Should one throw oneself and be able to renounce one's life,
Like one blind person leading all other blind persons,
One will be in absolute freedom (unattached from the eyes).

Reflections on Talks on Buddha's Lists
During a recent Appamada Intensive our students gave talks on Buddha's lists. Here are my reflections on their talks.

Rhinoceros Fan (an infamous koan) One day Yanguan called to his attendant, "Bring me the rhinoceros fan." The attendant said, ...
