Even though you send me to false enlightenments and hells, you know how rare it is, that people actually devote so much time to the Buddha-Dharma? It’s auspicious. So disregarding our ecumenical misgivings, whether Hindu or Buddhist, I proclaim my deep respect for people who devoted their best years and in some cases their lives – to this wonderous teaching. Merry Christmas! My wish is that not Mara, but Amida Buddha welcomes you all at death with his wide embrace.

Best of the season to all. Methexis, I check in everyday to read this blog and the Zennist’s too! And of course the pointers offered by Tozen. All three are great resources.
Hey, Suki, great to hear from you! Best to you in the coming New Year!
