3. "I ask for nothing, Master"
"And you shall receive it - in abundance."

A free handbound journal to the person who correctly ID's the movie that's from!

13. Actually its more Taoist than Zen
Edited on Thu Apr-22-04 07:45 PM by Az
Buddhists have an inherant expectation that the world around us is negative. The best you can hope for is to be free of this world and all its problems. Taoists accept the world for what it is. Nothing suprises us as it is what it is.

PS been meaning to mention I love your Quixote pic and quote. That story has always been one of my faves. My personal fave line is Whether the rock hits the vase or the vase hits the rock, its going to be bad for the vase.

12. Some people hold nothing sacred, you know.
And a mountain climber or two has died from failure to expect nothing when they put their foot down on it.
