Who: anyone
Where: all over
When: Day 108, early morning.
What:

When you wake up today, there's a good chance there's something new outside, somewhere. A quote, in any number of places: sketched on your door in charcoal. Drawn in the dirt of your common area. Written by the showers in rocks, arranged by the lake in bones. A shelf in the library, rearranged by the title to spell out something.

If you look nearby, you can probably find the culprit. It's not like he's trying to hide.

	Well, it's another one of those Zen things. If that helps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They can. Thinking about them when you can helps sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who's Bankei? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zen_ish 2010-02-16 07:48 am UTC (link)
	Bankei was a Buddhist. He studied something he called "the unborn," which is how he saw the world and enlightenment, but he was pretty straightforward about it. Did a lot of wandering and talking from his own experience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... so, the moral is that most people are jerks? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zen_ish 2010-02-16 07:58 am UTC (link)
	Mmm. He was also enlightened. Mostly from not dying of TB. Which might have helped on the "not being a jerk" scale of things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambibalance 2010-02-16 08:02 am UTC (link)
	... Didn't know you could become enlightened like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zen_ish 2010-02-16 08:10 am UTC (link)
	There are lots of ways to become enlightened. Meditation is a standard, not an absolute methodology. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[... nods] I don't really remember a lot about that kinda stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[nods back] I had a long time to think about it, in jail. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambibalance 2010-02-16 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	So you get it, now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zen_ish 2010-02-17 05:43 am UTC (link)
	I'd like to think I get something out of it, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambibalance 2010-02-17 08:21 am UTC (link)
	How do you interpret it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zen_ish 2010-02-17 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	He was undivided and undistracted by wants. Which is a really hard thing to do, when you come down to it, but it shouldn't be taken for granted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambibalance 2010-02-17 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	... Can't really imagine what it must be like, to live without wanting anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zen_ish 2010-02-18 08:41 am UTC (link)
	It's easier in a place where your goals can be simpler. (Reply to this) (Parent)
