Occupy Mind
Thursday, February 9, 2012 Mind occupies itself,
no matter how much it protests itself.
Self tries to evict itself,
in vain.

Sunday, January 29, 2012 Buddhism is a well-camouflaged atheism. Atheism is a poorly packaged religion. However you disguise your assumptions, remember not to kill the messenger.
Sunday, January 29, 2012 Mind is its own TV: it watches itself. Turn it off.
Sunday, January 29, 2012 "One Ground, two Paths," masters say.
Dunno about that: Ground I see, but I see no Paths (other than the innumerable ones I mark with my mind).
So, I say: all Ground is one Path.
