vertical line nil : nothing

desperandum : despair

Latin nil ‘nothing’, 
desperandum, gerund of desperare ‘despair’,


nothing to be despaired of,

never despair,

I am not going to give up. Not for giving up, as in: this is not for giving up on.

vertical line A Cup of Tea Nan-in
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and then kept on pouring.The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. “It is overfull. No more will go in!”
“Like this cup,” Nan-in said, “you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

vertical line Does a dog have Buddha nature?
Regardless of the words used, the answer should come from your realization of the truth of your nature. When the monk answered MU, that was his truth. Ponder and wonder??
