Today's Chapter is just like last week's, which is just like the week before ... except that it is completely different and unique.

Anyway, it is very bad, a terrible chapter, and you will hate it.

So, please despise the FIFTH TALK in Suzuki Roshi's talks on the Sandokai ... "TODAY WE MAY BE VERY HAPPY and THE NEXT DAY WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO US", pages 75 to 81.

You may also enjoy (unless you hate them too) a couple of short talks by Sojun Mel Weitsman, a long time student of Suzuki Roshi and Abbot of the Berkeley Zen Center (as well as former co-Abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center).
