An impossible question means a journey -- Bodhidharma's vast emptiness : forgetting who you are and making use of nothing -- Zhaozhou's dog : the secret of changing your heart -- Rhinoceros : meeting the inconceivable -- Ordinary mind is the way : the heaven that's already here -- A condolence : call pursuing death into life -- The red thread : connections that desire makes -- Counting the stars : a boring koan -- Out of nowhere, the mind comes forth : light playing on children's faces -- Tortoise mountain wakes up : friendship -- The great way is not difficult : life with and without your cherished beliefs -- The cypress tree in the garden : the trouble with ancestors -- The Bodhisattva's great mercy : a secret kindness working in the dark -- The woman at the inn : are you afraid of this happiness? -- There's nothing I dislike : on avoiding bad art -- The master song man, an Australian koan : finding your song.
