Ok Michael, you wanted proof, there you have it! The ME in spades. I did meditate twice this week, and I think that may have pushed us over the edge. And hey, I am not discounting, for a second, not for a second, the beneficial effect of Shikantaza meditation, which of course is a Japanese translation of a Chinese term for zazen introduced by Rujing, a monk of the Caodong school of Zen Buddhism. In Japan, it is associated with the Soto school. Sōtō Zen or the Sōtō school (曹洞宗 Sōtō-shū?) is the largest of the three traditional sects of Zen in Japanese Buddhism (the others being Rinzai and Ōbaku). It emphasizes Shikantaza, meditation with no objects, anchors, or content. The meditator strives to be aware of the stream of thoughts, allowing them to arise and pass away without interference. No, I am giving equal credit to both. Does this call for a Pappy's Van Winkle for celebration? I had to look that up! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : It’s Official – Russia Completely Bans GMOs thank you President Putin and Prime Minister Medvedev.
