Are you looking for someone to follow to, or for someone who will help you to learn?
Do you want someone to adulate you, or someone who shows you your own flaws and how to get rid of them?
Are you looking for a "certified" master, or for someone who knows his own mind?
Are you ready to face your dark side, or do you fear facing the wall?
Are you looking for a living encyclopedia, or for a living mind?
Are you looking for a "pollitically correct" teacher, or for a true master?
Are you looking for someone who will teach you the "ritual Zen", or for Zen?
Depending on what you are looking for, you will find one thing or the other.
So, make sure you are looking for the right thing.

After years of looking for a living encyclopedia I found the living mind, and I enjoyed de experience enough to keep at it. I again enjoyed reading your blogs.
