Returning to the Ordinary World
A monk asked Kegon, "How does an enlightened one return to the ordinary world?" Kegon replied, "A broken mirror never reflects again; fallen flowers never go back to the old branches." No matter how many years you sit doing zazen, you will never become anything special. -- Zen Master Sawaki, in Zen Master Dogen (1200-1253 ), Instructions for the Zen Cook Yeah, so roses are red I made up the rest If you got some big ****ing secret Then why don't you sing me something? -- Jane's Addiction

Yamaoka Tesshu, as a young student of Zen, visited one master after another. He called upon Dokuon of Shokoku.
Desiring to show his attainment, he said: "The mind, Buddha, and sentient beings, after all, do not exist. The true nature of phenomena is emptiness. There is no realization, no delusion, no sage, no mediocrity. There is no giving and nothing to be received." Dokuon, who was smoking quietly, said nothing. Suddenly he whacked Yamaoka with his bamboo pipe. This made the youth quite angry. "If nothing exists," inquired Dokuon, "where did this anger come from?"

She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it to the night She's gonna make it through the night (break with soul-stirring solo) Oh momma that's where the fun is But momma that's where the fun is Momma always told me not to look in the eyes on the sun But momma that's where the fun is Chorus: Blinded by the light! revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night!

Ladies and gentelman, welcome to the sensational and amazing... Carnival of
Carnage! They said it couldnt happen, they said it wouldnt last, but boys and girls and everyone weve got a carnival for that ass! Tens of thousands of freaks, sideshows, and fools, a carnival who together lives by there own rules We looked into the stars, foretold everyone, something dark and wicked this way comes. We told of oddities, crawling from the dark, and a carnival which we can all belong. I dwell upon the streets, and I can tell you this: I see some circus, Juggalo shit going on. People drawn together, by rare and scrubby music, and we even gather once a year to PUT IT DOWN! With tilt-a-whirls and merry goes', and carnivals of Faygo, were just trying to tell you abot the light, right. Now all the Jokers Cards have fallen with spectacular array, so when the Wraith is calling, walk into the light, right.
