I asked the Buddha a question and then withdraw a tiny Dharma words note from one of the donation box at the local temple. The question was "Which Dharma Gate I should take" I've been pondering between Pureland and Ch'an in my mind. The Dharma note I've received talked about the propgation of Ch'an by the Sixth Patriarch Huieng!!!

Just thought that was pretty amazing! Know wat im sayin?!

    Where have you been federica? It has been a little while. At the gangsta, it is merely a coincidence IMO, look at the whole situation, there are many more things that are different than that are similar. You are maybe looking for it, but if it has lead you to make a decision on something important to you, there is no harm I guess... Just slow down on the husslin ;) haha

    Thanx, this certainly made things less complicated than me. Just like going vegetarian, most resturants have only 1 or 2 veg options, way less mental energy spent on picking and choosing.

    Great point!
    I wonder if it's good for the body.
    I know it's good for the mind, but what about the body?
