Sayings of a Jewish Buddhist

If there is no self, whose arthritis is this?
Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?
Drink tea and nourish life; with the first sip, joy; with the
second sip, satisfaction; with the third sip, peace; with the
fourth, a Danish.
Wherever you go, there you are. Your luggage is another story.
Accept misfortune as a blessing. Do not wish for perfect health, or
a life without problems. What would you talk about?
Zen is not easy. It takes effort to attain nothingness. And then
what do you have? Bupkis.

Lovely, sent by Pierre Joris.
