Does it affect Leonard Cohen?
Here in Holland people say: ; he has been Roshi's personal assistant for years, so he must have known it. And he has kept his silence!

Re: The Master Song
In Dutch newspapers 15-2-13 is given a whole new meaning to the word master: " Zen Master Joshu Sasaki Roshi (1944) falls with thunderous roar from his pedestal. The Japanese-American Buddhist has in recent decades molested hundreds of students. That is the conslusion of least a group of Buddhi...

I swept the marble chambers, But you sent me down below. To me marble has the association of being cold (in colour as well as temperature) and expensive. The "I' is looking for love in the wrong place, in high atmosphere where it is not, love is down below. And his actions are wrong and useles...

Thanks, from bitter experience...

That don't make it junk
"That Don't Make It Junk" I fought against the bottle, But I had to do it drunk – Took my diamond to the pawnshop – But that don’t make it junk. I know that I’m forgiven, But I don’t know how I know I don’t trust my inner feelings – Inner feelings come and go. How come you called me here t...

Re: Waiting for the miracle
Hello Mat, I like reading your posts, but now you don't convince me! Of course in LC's songs there is (almost) always a mixture of God/Christ and woman/lover and sun/moon etc. and I see no need to make a distinction or absolute choice: the words contain it all. I read comments where everything is dr...

Re: You know who I am (Songs From A Room)
I practise Zen and I think there is a koan (Zen-riddle): How do you follow someone who is behind you? the you has all the handles he needs to track God down: - he has already seen the sun (burning love, heat and light)so he knows who he is dealing with. - there is no distance between God and him but...

Re: Avalanche
You are right. Interesting, thanks. But the first impression I get: the I is boasting : I'm of good descent, I live in a rich place, I am not just a boy from the street, I am a good catch! He is suspicious, expects the woman to go for gold, while in reality she is compassionate. Very sad. (By the wa...
