"Boundless wind and moon---the eye within eyes,
Inexhaustible heaven and earth---the light beyond light,
The willow dark, the flower bright---ten thousand houses;
Knock at any door---there's one who will respond. ~Preface to The Blue Cliff Record

Reading this translation by Thomas Cleary and J.C. Cleary with introduction by Taizan Maezumi Roshi. Wanting to be delivered from the demon of compulsive sutra reading. ;)

Don't believe that reading will ever cease for me altogether since it has been going on ever since earliest memory. Sitting more now in freeform zazen of lying on my back.(this is a source of kundalini disturbance but chronic fatigue syndrome can be very debilitating). Maybe a box can be rigged up to keep me in an upright position...

The Way of Wu Wei and doing without doing yet everything gets done... Chop wood carry water...after the ecstacy the laundry...

more later...
