One day Master asked the abbot, "How you understand the saying 'Missed by a hair-width, separated like Heaven and Earth'?" The abbot said, "Missed by a hair-width, separated like Heaven and Earth." Master: "How can you attain enlightenment with this kind of understanding?" Abbot: "Then how do you Master understand it?" Master: "Missed by a hair-width, separated like Heaven and Earth." Abbot makes a bow. ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ I think the abbot missed by twice the hair-width. : ) So how do you understand "Missed by a hair-width, separated like Heaven and Earth"?

I loved reading this blog posting! Life can cause so much stress and worry on a person that it is important to stay mindful and focused before life knocks you down. It is always nice to take time to stop and smell the roses. I like the quote-stay low in the boat. I will have to remember it when I am on the midst of a freak out. :)

Good post. I be taught something tougher on totally different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from different writers and apply somewhat one thing from their store. I'd favor to use some with the content material on my weblog whether or not you don't mind. Natually I'll provide you with a hyperlink on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
