Shunryu Suzuki: Study Yourself

Shunryu Suzuki: Study Yourself
The purpose of studying Buddhism is not to study Buddhism. It is to study ourselves.

Deep Down

So what did you love to do as a child?

I loved to write "books" on 8 1/2 x 11 paper folded in half and stapled.  I loved to sing and make up musicals that I could play in with my friends.  (Lights, camera, action!)  I loved playing 'make-believe' with the neighbors: we would be the cast from F-Troop or some other television show.  I loved to draw and paint.  I think it was my first grade teacher who recommended to my parents that they enroll me in a summer visual arts program at the local college.

Love the "About the Author" at the end!


I think I find blogging so satisfying because it lets me use the writer and the visual artist aspects of who I am.   Are all of us bloggers writers deep down in our souls?

The idea for this post came to be after reading today's article in Tiny Buddha.  It's a lovely site that I read daily.
