Let your mind be as a floating cloud. Let your stillness be as the wooded<BR/>glen. And sit up straight. You'll never meet the Buddha with such round<BR/>shoulders. <BR/><BR/>2. Be aware of your body. Be aware of your perceptions. Keep in mind that<BR/>not every physical sensation is a symptom of a terminal illness.<BR/><BR/>3. Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.<BR/><BR/>4. To practice Zen and the art of Jewish motorcycle maintenance, do the<BR/>following: get rid of the motorcycle. What were you thinking?<BR/><BR/>5. There is no escaping karma. In a previous life, you never called, you<BR/>never wrote, you never visited. And whose fault was that?<BR/><BR/>6. If there is no Self, whose arthritis is this?<BR/><BR/>7. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Forget this, and<BR/>attaining Enlightenment will be the least of your problems.<BR/><BR/>8. The Tao has no expectations. The Tao demands nothing of others. The Tao<BR/>does not speak. The Tao does not blame. The Tao does not take sides. The Tao<BR/>is not Jewish. <BR/><BR/>9. Drink tea and nourish life. With the first sip, joy. With the second,<BR/>satisfaction. With the third sip, eat a Danish.<BR/><BR/>10. Be patient and achieve all things. Haggle and get them<BR/>cheaper. <BR/><BR/>11. To Find the Buddha, look within. Deep inside you are 10,000 flowers.<BR/>Each flower blossoms 10,000 times. Each blossom has 10,000 petals. You might<BR/>want to see a specialist.<BR/><BR/>12. Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?<BR/><BR/>13. Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness. And then, what<BR/>do you have? Bupkes!<BR/><BR/> Good luck, DinoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-1129724483869256902005-10-19T05:21:00.000-07:002005-10-19T05:21:00.000-07:00I'm sure that JustaDog wishes you well, but in so ...I'm sure that JustaDog wishes you well, but in so doing, he comes off as one of those bitter Republicans who would still have us working in sweat shops for minimum wage.<BR/>I, for one, will miss your wry comments and gleeful Bush Bashing.

If you did then you all could sit around the coffee table during one of your union-sanctioned breaks and bash our country!<BR/><BR/>My advice - bring an umbrella!JustaDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003082580136787667noreply@blogger.com
