"Barbara O’Brien’s wide-ranging account of Zen history is conveyed with a master storyteller’s ability to keep the forest from getting lost in a myriad of trees. Wearing her scholarship lightly, she blends just the right amount of skepticism about her hagiographic sources with a deep appreciation for the Dharma." — Barry Magid, author of
Nothing Is Hidden and
Ending the Pursuit of Happiness Order here!
As a goat farmer, I have to admit that there is a bit of my soul that is like the bearded fellow in the overalls and I am grateful for that. We accept a debt of care for our herd and they give us the means to make great raw milk cheese and soap. As a bonus they are great fun to watch, not to mention the fact that baby goats are about the cutest things on the planet.
So, I guess things are copasetic.
goatherd,
Thanks’ for doing what you do.
BTW: Any cheese, please? I’ll be happy to pay 🙂
