dai ippo zen...
I need to make you aware that I am the First Patriarch of Dai Ippo Zen.
I explain:
In the light of many past discussions with people and more recently comments on this blog and in private emails, I thought I'd get on the arrogance and conceit bandwagon and claim to have some searing insights which are denied lesser mortals.
And thus I have appointed myself to the the lofty pinnacle of a brand new Zen sect which I have called Dai Ippo Zen.
I do not claim to be enlightened or to have attained satori. I have no special insights which you cannot also obtain by staring long enough at a picture of a chimpanzee. Any picture of a chimpanzee. But it must be a picture of a chimpanzee. No other picture could possibly have the same effect. I can teach you nothing you don't already know.
Future followers of mine will make up wildly exaggerated stories of my wisdom and perspicacity, adorned with endless items of "evidence". It is the nature of the way...
May the stench of the Buddha be with you...

I love a bear with delusions of squalor.
Do you have to argue with anonymous nits at my blog?
Oh dear... The lighter side of blogging... What have I done now...
The imps are out and about... Anonymous needed sorting. I sorted. :-)
Alternatively you can go the The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Ah, so you're a sorta bear!
ML, Thanks for the Spaghetti Monster link. Excellent. I think that if Intelligent Design is to be taught in Science classes, then Evolution should be taught in Religious Studies classes. Quid Pro Quo.
JT, I think I do far too much sorting. I should learn to leave it to others, or better still, to realise that no sorting is needed. Maybe wisdom will find me next lifetime, in this one, I'm afraid it's a big wooshie...
And if I catch the cheeky bugger who did the Elizabeth blog, there'll be a spanking, JT!!!!
You mean she's not a real prophet like you.
I'm no prophet. And you're a cheeky imp! Clever the way you hijacked that person's ID to create that blog. Now go and kill it before the real Elizabeth sues your pants off.
