Look At This…
It is alive and kicking!
Most people think that we live in the actual world wile we are live, and that after we take the last breath we somehow wander into a vague realm of the spirit. It is a great mistake to see two separate realms. Instead, where we live is in fact the spiritual realm, a realm of many billion worlds, which goes beyond three, four, or even infinite dimensions. Then the danger is that we might think that this is a realm that is empty and boundless. Watch out! It’s all manifested right here at this moment. It is alive and kicking!

Shaven Wookie, Ltd.
Shaven Wookie, Ltd.
Many generations ago, it was tradition for a Wookie to shave as part of the rites of passage into adulthood. To be shaven was to show that one had the strength and courage to face the elements and overcome adversity without the protection of one’s fur. However, the tradition came to an abrupt end with the Imperial enslavement of Wookies and the ensuing war effort against the Imperials. The tradition would become part of the folklore which was passed down from one generation to the next.

There’s no point in translating all of the old Chinese texts–not if you’re serious about understanding real Zen. The sound of the rain needs no translation.
