ah yes Zen and Alzheimers …achieved by answering the old familiar zen koans , ‘where am I’ ….and ‘where are my slippers’, and ‘what am i doing in the kitchen?’

I suppose enlightenment really is an extended form of that most familiar universal experience :
‘ where did i put the keys ‘

Martyn,no i don’t. Although i have read that Richard Rose, a kind of American Zenmaster,who taught,lived and died last century had Alzheimer during his last years. So yes,perhaps being awake and Alzheimer can go together…….apparently.

Ha ha ha..talk about letting the cat amongst the chickens,
Sat on the beach with Lokesh and his charning wife this moning. He was saying there is nothing wrong with a lie….if it works. I am his step-daughter from another marriage and we get along most of the time. He is not online at all right now but says he will return to Sannyas news in a couple of weeks.
In the meantime you can all XXX my beautifull smooth ass goodbye.

Thanks Arpana.
That R.H Blyth fellow … what a translator. I remember one day pre- sannyas at the end of my tether in a Crouch End library, and something he had translated seemed to reach out to me from a shelf, more than me reaching for it.
It changed my mood utterly.
Do you happen to know much about the fellow?
Those Haiku he translated should all be republished.
