Life can be strange, sometimes more than others. Here is an example…
A Zen master from Japan, who has sailed solo around the world on a home built boat, and is listed in the Guinness World Records invites a man of color from Philly who has only been sailing for some 10 or so years, to speak about Zen and sailing at a conference of the world largest instructional sailing organization, in Las Vegas…?!
You can not make this stuff up!
This should be interesting…I thought I was suppose to just be helping with the Q& A part of the program. You know translating some American into understandable English or rough Japanese. But no I am asked to speak about Zen…Whoa
Life can be seriously strange…Anyway I’m out o here. Off to Vegas baby. What happens in vegas , will not stay in Vegas this time!
to be continued…
Wow. This could be the beginning of the Zen and Sailing lecture tour. You could travel to yacht clubs all over the world (expenses paid of course) talking about Zen and Sailing.

Cool shirt, Zen. Pay very close attention to it while you are in Vegas.
For some reason, a lot of people lose their shirts there.

Excellent. Looking forward to your next post.
Did I ever tell you I used to do a Buddhist gig in ‘Vegas? I was a stand-up Karmic.

Panda, don’t tell me. You gave up the Vegas gig when you heard the sound of one hand clapping?

Zen a little on the serious side, remember they say the white belt is the most important person in the dojo,
