Make No Distinctions


In the mysterious Oneness

Of the universe

None is better

None is worse

~C. Alexander Simpkins~

The Gates of Heaven and The Gates of Hell


Long ago, there was an accomplished swordsman. The king heard about his great skill and summoned him to teach his army what he knew. In those days, you did not refuse an invitation from the king, and so the swordsman made the trip to the palace. When he finally arrived, the king gathered all his top guards to join in on the lesson. The swordsman said, "I can beat anyone with only two techniques. No one can stop me."
