Word Zendo
Re: Word Zendo
Reading this dear enlightened one has certainly made me laugh this day but I am still totaly mystified by your teachings
We don't stop laughing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop laughing!
Re: Word Zendo
Student kathlyn, no-one should be mystified or baffled or flummoxed. However, they may be puzzled.

Re: Word Zendo
Enlightened one, I am still struggling to understand the way our esteemed and beloved Buddha's mind works and would like to make another enquiry.
Having just been attempting to improve my mind with the study of art in the Puzzletown gallery I would love to know which artists the Buddha prefers. Is the work of Canaletto considered superior to that of Constable? And that of Caravaggio more beautiful than that of della Francesca?

Re: Word Zendo
The Buddha definitely likes Caravaggio, but he's not so keen on Canaletto, Constable or della Francesca...
However, you have earned another right to a guess. Just as a reminder, people who have the right to guess may do so at any time. If they are wrong, then the Master will post a pair of words that are valid but disprove the guess.

Re: Word Zendo
I must admit that I am fnding the way very confusing too. I wonder whether the Buddha would call it a rather foggy path, though perhaps not misty?
Re: Word Zendo
Master, still confused as I am, I shall enquire whether the Buddha is fond of games such as scrabble or that he believes it is played only by the rabble?
Re: Word Zendo
Is student LAT really so unsure about the way? For it is true that the path is foggy but not misty.
But student SparkOut still seems confused; the Buddha dislikes both scrabble and the rabble...

Re: Word Zendo
Absolutely so, Master. If the Buddha dislikes scrabble, then would he prefer to do gardening and be a grubber in the vegetable patch, rather than play a rubberof bridge? Or perhaps it is that he would he fear a drubbing and rather take a brass rubbing?
Re: Word Zendo
While it is true that the Buddha would prefer being a grubber to a rubber, he would like both a drubbing and a rubbing.
I feel that student SparkOut, for all his protestations, may be near enlightenment?

enlightened one would you prefer a gaggle of geese to a school of whales.

Re: Word Zendo
Esteemed master, as a total novice, should I seek enlightenment by reading and walking to commune with nature or would it be better to sit at home watching TV
There's no point in having a last minute if you don't use it!
Re: Word Zendo
Student kathlyn, you are indeed correct to deduce that the Buddha would prefer a gaggle of geese to a school of whales.
Student Looby, however, seems to be lost - the Buddha does not like reading, walking, or watching, or even to commune with the mysteries of the world.
Do my students really still find themselves baffled? Surely one of them is willing to step out into the abyss?

Erm, yes.Do my students really still find themselves baffled?
Re: Word Zendo
This student certainly is not confident of making such a leap, Master.
I do wonder though, would the Buddha like to kiss a miss rather than a lass or one of the gals?

Re: Word Zendo
Master, I'm assuming then that the Buddha would goggle at Google in preference to submitting his enquiry to Live Search?
Re: Word Zendo
Master I thought you had lost me entirely on this one, now I realise I was mistaken. I wasn't completely lost until you revised your list, now I'm speechless with despair
Re: Word Zendo
Most elegant giraffe, may I join you in your pit of despair

Re: Word Zendo
In the truest spirit of community, peace and love, could I humbly request that I may snuggle up with the giraffe and rag doll in the pit of despair and confusion?
..warm in here, isn't it?
Perhaps as I climb in, I could just casually toss an old Lloyds bank card and an Abbey cheque book in the direction of the Master's mounting heap of discarded suggestions? (Maybe we could make them into a pyre later)?

You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.
