Student: What does Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash singing Girl From the North Country have to do with Zen?
Master: Everything and Nothing.
Student: But I don't understand. Can you please elaborate?
Master: Would you prefer to shovel the snow with a teaspoon or a tablespoon?
Student: Neither. Each would take forever. I would prefer to use a shovel and get it over with.
Master: Exactly. And so, you will never be able to understand my answer to your question.
Dead Dogs
If the dog barks, it is a good sign.
If the dog does not bark, it is a good sign.
If the dog neither barks nor does not bark
the dog is dead.
Replace it.
If the dog cannot be replaced,
it was not really a dog.
If it was other than a dog,
ask yourself why it slept on the floor
and ate the scraps from your table.
