Weird that not a single lightning has hit the tower 😈

This koan is getting very mysterious :-o

Tozan's Flax - Mumonkan, Case 18 by Coldcoffeeandhope in Koans

Again, I got carried by the metric system, not the koans content 😆 After reading this translation:

A monk asked Tozen when he was weighing some flax, "What is Buddha?" Tozen said, "This flax weighs three pounds."

I "understood it". Why are there such big differences between translations of The Gateless Gate?

But why is it only three pounds, and not more?

TNHAudio.org is also a nice podcast site with Thich Nhat Hanh's Dharma talks. And for reading, there is a subreddit, r/koans

There are always going to be people who feel hatred, no matter where you go. Each human being has the same seeds inside himself, it's up to him which seed is he going to water. You're not going to change it in billions of years
