saints and sinners

.
For heavens sake!!!

No one with a lick of common sense wants to be a sinner.

No one with a lick of common sense wants to be a saint.

No one with a lick of common sense yearns for the middle way.

But perhaps it takes a while for common sense to kick in...

Nothing beats a good laugh.

  1. While I am still doubting myself as you advised sometime back -- "doubt, courage, and don't say no" -- i kept going through the koan like a reminder and while initially it made little "sense", gradually it did and .. no "and".

    Common sense is basically how-and-what my dick feels most of the time!! :D :D :D

    Why the hell do women bother to wear clothes? And then common sense kicks in.

    Common sense.. it is there yet I cannot say it!

    Yet zazen is great because the feeling of "nothing" really beats a good smile out of me.
