Zen Dog

I scratched my dogs belly and she grinned.

I walked away and she looked for a second, put her head down and slept.

I picked up her lead and she stood alert to walk.

This is a Master of Tao, spontaneous, non-attached. With a hairy suit, cute eyes and bad breath.

An interesting summary of a Taoist!

My cat is definitely a Yogi, you should see some of the postures she manages to entwine her body into . . . . eye watering!

I wondered once if animals have buddha mind or not, like that koan that ends Mu!.

Animals? Consciousness without reflection or self-awareness . . the pineal gland having not been broken by the 'light' of intelligent self-reflection . .

Matter + Life + Consciousness + Self-Awareness = Mankind!
