Institutional Zen: leading figures are mere caricatures who call the rancid “food” and lug their flock into a museum of dusty and artificial objects,
Where they will talk about living art.
Run away from these men with words cut out of glossy paper.

A wise teaching from Linji, yet very often i must remind myself he wasn’t just referring to the buddha. He points directly at me, at my intentions, at my smug intellectual thoughts. Then I remember to breathe. Again…
All the best for you this year!

Making me think they re totally useless.
Which is why I post them anyway.
Happy new year to you too!
