Jay Rinsen Weik gives a talk and leads discussion at the Toledo Zen Center on August 20, 2008.
"I've built a grass roof hut, where there's nothing of value.
\nAfter eating, I relax and enjoy a nap.
\nWhen it was completed, fresh weeds appeared.
\nNow it's been lived in - covered by weeds.
\nThe person in the hut lives here calmly,
\nnot stuck to inside, outside, or in between."
\n -Shih-Tou

\n"When you can get past the 'It's not OK' about 'It's not OK,' and just be OK with 'It's not OK,' then, OK!"
-Rinsen
