When Zhuangzi's wife died and Hui Shi came to convey his condolences, he found Zhuangzi squatting with his knees out, drumming on a pan and singing ''You lived with her she raised your children, and you grew old together, Hui Shi said "Not weeping when she died would have been bad enough. Aren't you going too far by drurnming on a pan and singing ?'
"No," Zhuangzi said, "when she first died how could I have escaped feeling the loss? Then I looked back to the beginning before she had life Not only before she had life but before she had form. Not only before she had form, but before she had vital energy. In this confused amorphous realm, something changed and vital energy appeared,- when the vital energy was changed, form appeared; with changes in form, life began. Now there is another change bringingdeath This is like the progression of the four seasons of spring and fall, winter and summer. Here she was lying down to sleep in a huge room and I followed her sobbing and wailing. When I realized my actions showed I hadn't understood destiny, I stopped."

Rabbit says "deep thot." What are your thoughts on that? |

A student of Tendai, a philosophical school of Buddhism, came to the Zen abode of Gasan as a pupil. When he was departing a few years later, Gasan warned him: "Studying the truth speculatively is useful as a way of collecting preaching material. But remember that unless you meditate constantly your light of truth may go out." I misread that at first. I first read it as, "studying the truth is speculatively useful as a way of collecting preaching material." The meaning becomes quite different, and I daresay much more profound - if highly cynical. |

CHINA isn't abiding by anything! They're buying all of our coal--we can't use coal anymore, essentially--they're buying our coal and they're using it! Now, when you talk about the PLANET--it's so big out there: we're here, they're there; it's like they're our next door neighbor, right--in terms of The Universe... Ms. Universe, by the way--made a great deal when I sold it--oh did I get rich! It was a great deal, oh ... You know, they broke my choppers on that: they said, "he talks about illegal immigration! We're not gonna put him on telev...." First of all, Univision is being sued like crazy--you wouldn't believe it. And NBC--I made a great deal with them, just like an amazing deal.

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things is not the same...
