about

 


This site is an eclectic collection of texts, images and more, handpicked and clustered in random or not-so-random ways; aiming at assisting in this noble task: “Define yourself or be defined”.

 

According to Robert Anton Wilson, most of us function as badly wired robots due to our upbringing. Shall we want to reverse the damage, we have to be courageous enough to travel the path less traveled. “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” T. S. Eliot

the fool and the theologian

A Zen monk lived with his one-eyed brother, who was a fool. On a day that a famous theologian was coming from afar to speak with the monk, he was forced to be absent. He said to his brother, “Welcome and treat this wise man well. But above all, don’t say a word to him and everything will be alright.”

The monk then left the monastery. When he returned, he immediately went to see his guest. “Has my brother welcomed you?” he asked. Enthusiastically, the theologian replied, “Your brother is a fine person. He is a great theologian.” Surprised, the monk mumbled back, “What? My brother . . . a theologian?”

“We had a passionate discussion,” the wise man went on, “expressing ourselves only through gestures. I showed him a finger, he replied showing me two. I then responded, as expected, by showing him three, and he left me baffled by showing me a clenched fist and ending the debate. With one finger I indicated the unity of Buddha. With two he widened my point of view, reminding me that Buddha could not be separated from his doctrine. Pleased with the reply, I showed him three fingers, signifying Buddha and his doctrine in the world. And then he gave me this sublime reply, showing me his fist: Buddha, his doctrine in the world, is part of a whole. It was thrilling.”

Soon after, the monk went to see his one-eyed brother and demanded, “Tell me what happened with the theologian!” “Quite simple,” said the brother. “He provoked me, showing me one finger to point out that I had only one eye. Not wanting to give in to his provocation, I replied that he was lucky to have two. He went on sarcastically to say that adding up all our eyes, we have three eyes. That was the last straw. Showing him a clenched fist, I threatened to make him into a corpse if he didn’t stop his ill-intentioned innuendos.”
