The Short Version
Down on my knees
in some far off land, a giant statue of the Buddha towering over my
head, this is when the Buddha whispered to me, “Embrace the Smile That
Is This Moment... If you can’t make a fortune selling that line, there
really isn’t any hope for you,” he added scornfully after a moment or
two more before commanding me to return from whence I had come and
write a book.
And at that, I had
to laugh, for I knew the Buddha advice what spot-on... and that he was
a lot more cynical than anyone had ever imagined.
Embracing the Smile
That Is This Moment is a
simplistic guide to that oft-misunderstood Zen Buddhism thingy for
Westerners, heretics, and other non-believers.
This means
you, Buddy Boy.
