Oneji |
November 27, 2016
Here I AM present today, Now writing about Oneji. I can only write about Oneji, because I can’t really say who he IS. So many-things to say here-now and yet no-thing to say here-now. It’s beginning to sound like a Zen koan, Now. A decade or so ago I happened across some Zen books, which can be quite confusing to the mind, intentionally on the Zen Masters' part, I might add.

correct-politically un-correct, and perhaps even outrageous at times. Life simply will not have it any other way. Videos, books, audios, group satsungs,
personal satsungs, and who knows what else are PRESENTLY on the happening que…
