Stephen Mitchell quotes his old teacher, Zen Master Seung Sahn commenting on verse 15 of the Tao:
Our mind is like a clear glass of water. If we put salt into the water, it becomes salt water; sugar, it becomes sugar water; shit, it becomes shit water. But originally the water is clear. No thinking, no mind. No mind, no problem.
I like this. (Did you hear about this tweet last weekend about the time change: “If you live in Wisconsin, don’t forget to set your clock back 50 years.”)
LOVE THAT!!!!!!
