T...You reminded of my second favorite Zen story . <br />The Blind Men and the Elephant<br /><br />Several citizens ran into a hot argument about God and different religions, and each one could not agree to a common answer. So they came to the Lord Buddha to find out what exactly God looks like.<br /><br />The Buddha asked his disciples to get a large magnificent elephant and four blind men. He then brought the four blind to the elephant and told them to find out what the elephant would "look" like.<br /><br />The first blind men touched the elephant leg and reported that it "looked" like a pillar. The second blind man touched the elephant tummy and said that an elephant was a wall. The third blind man touched the elephant ear and said that it was a piece of cloth. The fourth blind man hold on to the tail and described the elephant as a piece of rope. And all of them ran into a hot argument about the "appearance" of an elephant.<br /><br />The Buddha asked the citizens: "Each blind man had touched the elephant but each of them gives a different description of the animal. Which answer is right?"Flighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047828433080034943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427374210457804451.post-2337188696789938462009-06-01T01:22:54.985-07:002009-06-01T01:22:54.985-07:00That is a bold question!

It made me think about my answer, and what came is that I want to know that when I come here I will continue to be both challenged and soothed by your astonishing honesty.
