Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 This analogy reminds me of something I posted here in January that I read in a book about how to let go of anger. It was a great visual too. 'A Zen buddist teacher tells his student, if you move, I will hit you with this stick. If you don't move, I will hit you with this stick. What will you do?' And the student replied in proper zen buddist training " I will take away the stick. " And so I love the whole 'let go of the rope' analogy. Its sooooo what I'm in the process of learning how to do. Its so liberating not only knowing, but putting into practice other forms of reality besides my nada's.
