Guest guest Posted March 3, 2000 Report Share Posted March 3, 2000 "Joyce Short" <insight I remember the first time I met a Buddhist teacher. A zen Roshi came to give a public talk. Roshi began by saying that since we had all come to see him - he would take off his clothes if we liked. Then, after a short Dharma talk - he made the assembled crowd stand up, put our hands on our hips, lean back, stick out our bellys and laugh. At first the attempt was pretty pathetic, we were a very intense group - but, eventually we were rolling around on the floor laughing. A good laugh is the fastest way out of clinging that I have ever found. Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
