第33章 Brandeis University: Truth

Somebody comes into the Zen center with a lighted cigarette, walks up to the Buddha statue, blows smoke in its face, and drops ashes on its lap. You are standing there. What can you do? This is a problem that Zen Master Seung Sahn is fond of posing to his American students who attend his Zen centers. Dropping Ashes on the Buddha is a delightful, irreverent, and often hilariously funny living record of the dialogue between Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn and his American students. Consisting of dialogues, stories, formal Zen interviews, Dharma speeches, and letters using the Zen Master's actual words in spontaneous, living interaction with his students, this book is a fresh presentation of the Zen teaching method of instant dialogue between Master and student which, through the use of astonishment and paradox, leads to an understanding of ultimate reality.

Here is a funny middle-grade mystery from a bright new fiction talent. Things in the New England town of Ashcrumb are getting weird. Or just weirder. Misty Gordon, whose antique-dealing parents drive a van that says "D.E.A.D." on the side (for "Deceased’s Estate and Antique Dealer"), is accustomed to weird. One day, when accompanying her father to the estate of a recently departed clairvoyant, Misty discovers a notebook and a pair of eyeglasses that enable her to see ghosts! And solve mysteries. With the help of her new powers and her best friend, Yoshi, Misty learns that her hometown was settled not by respectable colonists but by pirates! And the ghosts of the pirates are returning to reclaim a dangerous, powerful treasure they lost centuries ago. Who will find it first, Misty or the pirates?

我们必须知道，我们必将知道。——大卫·希尔伯特平成二十四年七月，十九岁的挂谷邦彦离开东京，回到京都的家里度暑假。虽然名义上说是度假，但其实主要是在帮家里做工。挂谷家经营着一家小小的家庭旅舍，虽然规模并不算大，但经过三代长辈的苦心经营，在京都府中也算小小有些名气。本来七月盛夏既不是赏山樱之时，也并非看红叶之季，但前来投宿的旅客仍然颇多，大都是为了京都著名的祗园祭而来。因此挂谷家的旅舍每日都忙碌异常，尽管家中雇了二十几个雇工，却仍然有忙不过来的感觉。对于将在日后放弃工作继承旅舍这件事，邦彦并没有太多抵触的情绪。
