"After I’m gone, some of you will seclude yourselves in the forests and mountains to meditate, while others may drink rice wine and enjoy the company of women. Both kinds of Zen are fine, but if some become professional clerics, babbling about 'Zen as the Way,' they are my enemies."

- Ikkyu, Head abbot of Daitoku-ji temple addressing the monks in the year of his death 1481

The eternal struggle:

"Do I wanna cook book this new-to-me framework and get what I want functioning now, or actually learn what all is going on under the hood and get what I need in a month or two."

One of these days I'll remember to use status=progress with dd, and to check fdisk before just blindly guessing at where the thumb drive is.

Today is not that day.

"DO YOU SMELL ME DED?"

Big drawback to two factor usb keys. Sometimes the cat sits on them.

Arms... like... nooooodles...

"I don't need to borrow a chainsaw to take apart this live oak trunk I cut down a year ago. It's dry, I have an old lawnmower blade and a hand sledge, how hard can it be to split it into quaters the sawsall can handle?"

"In one incident, the Carlsbad Army Airfield Auxiliary Air Base near Carlsbad, New Mexico, was set on fire on May 15, 1943, when armed bats were accidentally released. The bats roosted under a fuel tank and incinerated the test range."

The Fediverse: "Where the outrage cycle keeps bankers hours"

Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva while practicing deeply the Prajñāpāramitā, perceived the five Skandhas are empty, and was freed from all suffering and affliction.

“Śāriputra, form does not differ from emptiness; emptiness does not differ from form. Form itself is emptiness, and emptiness is form. The same is true for sensation, conception, synthesis, and discrimination.

"Śāriputra, all dharmas are empty — they are neither created nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increase nor diminish.

"Because, in emptiness there is no form, sensation, conception, synthesis, or discrimination;
No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or thoughts;
No forms, sounds, scents, tastes, sensations, or dharmas.
There is no field of vision and there is no realm of thoughts.
There is no ignorance nor elimination of ignorance, even up to and including no old age and death, nor elimination of old age and death.
There is no suffering, its accumulation, its elimination, or a path.

"There is no understanding and no attaining.

"Because there is no attainment, bodhisattvas rely on Prajñāpāramitā, and their minds have no obstructions.
Without obstruction, they have no fears.
Because they are detached from backwards dream-thinking, their final result is Nirvāṇa.
Because all buddhas of the past, present, and future rely on Prajñāpāramitā, they attain Anuttarā Samyaksaṃbodhi.

"Therefore, know that Prajñāpāramitā is a great spiritual mantra, a great brilliant mantra, an unsurpassed mantra, and an unequalled mantra.
The Prajñāpāramitā Mantra is spoken because it can truly remove all afflictions.
The mantra is spoken thusly:

gate gate pāragate pārasaṃgate bodhi svāhā
