Killing Buddha: A Meta-Koan
Killing Buddha: A Meta-Koan
The archer, walking along the path, came upon Buddha. Remembering the words of his master, Lin Chi, he raised his bow, and taking careful aim, set the arrow in flight. Buddha, passing the archer, smiled and said, "good shot, bad aim."

QotD: "in desolate Fugazzi’s, listening to the crack of doom on the hydrogen jukebox"
If we looked out the window City Lights Books, further down Columbus Ave., towards Green Street, you'll find Club Fugazi (but not in that "desolate Fugazzi’s, listening to the crack of doom on the hydrogen jukebox
") which later inspired a fabulous little punk band from here in Washington, DC but which is not the Fugazzi (two ZZ's) of the poem.

QotD: We're all gonna die one day anyway and we'll lose all our stuff
Great quote from Tim O'Reilly (thanks to Gluejar @ Go to Hellman) for reporting on this:
To me, you gotta care about something more than preserving your business. Because, obviously companies have made these types of transitions, and this is just my personal response. We're all gonna die one day anyway and we'll lose all our stuff. So don't worry too much about it. Just do something that lights you up, and lights up your customers, and lights up the world and scale to that. Because what's going to happen is people who are lit up by the future are going to be pursuing that future, and the people who hold onto the past are going to hold on too long. - Tim O'Reilly (interview, 29 Sep 2010)
