| Quotation | Look how much time has passed since I received your letter and the chapter on Hui Neng [in Dr. Wu's book The Golden Age of Zen]. Time does not obey me, it will not stop for my convenience. This is very strange, but I must put up with it, even though time obeys everybody else. I will have to picket time for this unfairness. Really I enjoyed your chapter on Hui Neng very much, as it has much new material and I like your insight about the quiet revolution on p. 10. Your pages bring out more of the real importance of Hui Neng. I like the concept of playful samadhi, which comes very naturally from you. |
