Study Hall

"Student: Roshi, what about focus? You said that the clouds don't know they're the children of the mountain and vice versa, but when we humans open and arrange our eating bowls, we focus on that without listening to the stream. It is a different activity.
Suzuki Roshi: It is the same activity.
Student: For me it is different.
Suzuki Roshi: That is why you get the stick. [Laughing].When you really focus, there is light and darkness together, but when you are thinking there are two sides. Now you are asking a question. When you are asking a question you are thinking, so it is hard for me to answer your question. I may have to be very angry with you. That is the only way. If you get hit you will probably stop thinking about it" - Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness.

At the end of the Ino's blog there is a flag counter.
After clicking on it there is the graph about all the different countries and an ad about investing with 'Fisher' if you have 500k or more.
Are they affiliated with the SFZC?

Not as far as I know. The Flag Counter is just a gadget I stuck on the blog.
