- Upon meeting a teacher -
The teacher does not sell water by the riveside.
He simply sits and slowly sips, waiting for you to join him.
Watch his movements, learn their meaning. That is all.
When it is time, your thirst will move you. And all life is thirst. How joyous!
Beautiful. Fits very well with my experience of Gil Fronsdal, as teacher.
Deep bow,
marguerite

Thanks Marguerite! This came to me after meeting with the teacher at my Zendo for the first time, glad to hear it rings true with other people’s experiences as well. :)
