Yet what is the world but an image of the true self?
You think the true self is interested by the show of the ego, a well held lotus position or a nice tan.

"Where Zen and Buddhism will say the truth, enlightenment, and so on can be reached through dedicated meditation and practice, a Tao master may sip some wine, fart, and go to sleep."
Or purchase the paperback book of "The Person of Tao".
Many thanks to those who have purchased these books!

If it's the lotus position or a nice tan, I'm in BIG trouble. :D
hehe, well.. None of the above. Of course a rhetorical question as you know :D
There is no way to impress the true self. Any efforts are to enhance separation.
Imagine the wisest of the wise with the answer to everything looking out and saying: "ok, I got it" No greater fool would exist.
Rhetorically well put Ta-Wan . . that's why I'm a wayward yogi; my lotus position used to be inverted but it is now of no importance :)
Damn I look good.
Damn it doesn't mean anything :p
So true...reminds me of Zen Master Bankei. In most zen temples if you fell asleep during zazen you were reprimanded...Bankei would do no such thing saying we are no less a Buddha whether we are awake or asleep.
