He says, "Is this a stool?"
Turn it upside down and it is a wastebasket
Now it's a drum
There are no concepts
It is what it does
Anything you can use it for is what it is
A stool can be all these other things as well
Buddhism does not define
If you believe that, you are stuck with an idea
And are clinging onto it for spiritual security
You have a great laugh Alan
There is nothing you can hold onto
So man let go!
If you're enlightened you're like a dumb man
Who has had a wonderful dream
Nirvana means blow out
If you hold your breathe you lose it
Breathe out and you get your breath back
The ultimate reality is Shunyata
You don't meed any gizmos to be in the know
Every teacher of Buddhism is a debunker
He or she does it out of compassion
