Each one of those koans asks you to put yourself aside in service to something greater than yourself. That could be the dharma - as it is for monks - but it just as easily could be your art, your children, or even your wife. The object is inconsequential. Only the sacrifice matters. To be in the great way is to give yourself fully. Generosity is the first and greatest of the paramitas. | |
