Happy birthday, Jason. So your body just turned 50. How about your mind? How old is your mind? 😁 Gift for you: How may I help you? Thank you for your NOW teaching at all places, at all times whereever you're taking us on your adventures. 🙏🙏🙏

[@JasonQuinnZen]

"How old is your mind?" That is a great present! That already helped me. 🙏🙏🙏

Questioner: "... what can I do to become awakened to my own mind?” Hakuin: What is that which asks such a question? Is it your mind? Is it your original nature? Is it some kind of spirit or demon? Is it inside you? Outside you? Is it somewhere intermediate? Is it blue, yellow, red, or white? This is something you must investigate and clarify for yourself. You must investigate it whether you are standing or sitting, speaking or silent, when you are eating your rice or drinking your tea. You must keep at it with total, single-minded devotion. And never, whatever you do, look in sutras or in commentaries for an answer, or seek it in the words you hear a teacher speak
