Suburban Zen

Yes I thouroughly enjoyed the gig yesterday, but that was yesterday. I am playing again on Tuesday night - but that is tomorrow. Today I sit here working - through the window I can see my dog Dude munching on a bone. Ooh, look! He just whizzed on the clothes line - lovely!

'Although all dualities come from the One,
do not be attached even to this One.
When the mind exists undisturbed in the Way,
nothing in the world can offend.
And when a thing can no longer offend,
it ceases to exist in the old way.

When no discriminating thoughts arise,
the old mind ceases to exist.
When thought objects vanish,
the thinking-subject vanishes:
As when the mind vanishes, objects vanish.

Things are objects because of the subject (mind):
the mind (subject) is such because of things (object).
Understand the relativity of these two
and the basic reality: the unity of emptiness.
In this Emptiness the two are indistinguishable
and each contains in itself the whole world.
If you do not discriminate between coarse and fine
you will not be tempted to prejudice and opinion.

Words!

The Way is beyond language,

for in it there is

no yesterday

no tomorrow

no today'

Bit of early morning Zen for ya!....'Hsin Hsin Ming'.....
