ZEN禅 Therapy Koans on Clubhouse

Description

Someday I’ll go where there’s no one around and build myself a hut;
I’ll store no rice and plant no vegetables but will receive worthy friends coming and going from all directions.
Pulling out their pegs and yanking out their wedges, snatching away their grubby hats and ripping off their smelly robes,
I’ll make them clean and free,
I’ll make them people with nothing to do

——Koan from Shumon Kattoshu
