Running with Scissors

Zen Koan no 1

Ken was a young buddhist monk who lived
a quiet life in a busy city.

Ken was quite lazy and took his pillow with
him wherever he went. He took it grocery
shopping, on dates, to school, and even
swimming.

One day, his pillow and he got in a fight.
He threw the pillow into a wall and
it burst into a million feathers.
He cried and screamed because he
loved the pillow so much.

Many years later, he looked at
where the pillow used to lie next to him
and he became awakened.
