The Great Way

I said: Where else is the Great Path if it is not before you? My friend said: Makes me feel like it is behind. I said: Oh yeah, where else is the Great Path if it is not all around you.

My mistake.

Thanks friend.

Zen Zazen Testimonials

Reading Philip Kapleau's Three Pillars of Zen really makes one want to start Zazen(Meditation) and experience their Kensho(initial awakening) immediately. It is just so inspiring!!! Especially the part of the stories and testimonies of Kensho. It seems so near yet so far, one more step one more step! When can i go?

Clowning around

Recently, my friend offered me a job as a clown giving out balloons for two days, 2hrs each time. When I heard about it, i thought it would be really fun and accepted it! Haha! It turned out to be so! With the paint on my face, I could do whatever i want! All the antics i have always wanted to do! It was truely liberating! Everyone should try it! What i had to do was just to walk around some shops near an MRT station and give out balloons. While walking, i could walk a dumb walk, march, run, chase after kids, play with the aunties, play with the shopkeepers. Play with adults, play with everyone i see. Act like a kid at my age, be a nice caring person and pat the head of a child, play with babies without regard to anything. The best part was when ppl started saying, " Haha, so cute!" Enjoy myself and get praised at the same time!!!! Hahaha! Where else can you get such a job??? Just let your creativity flow, let the inner child out, be super firendly and just play!! The motto of the job, "Make people Happy" It's so simple!
