I’ll email the Maku mozo!’s from my favorite Zen masters and other sources of inspiration. Forward or share them with friends! Email me at virgil @ brianenos.com (without the “spaces” around the “@), and I’ll add you to my group list. NOTE: Your email address will never leave my computer, and, in your email, note that you’d like to be added to the Maku mozo! group list. |

| A little more on Maku mozo!, which means “Don’t be deluded!”
What does “Don’t be deluded” mean? One reply, from zen master Chih: “When one makes false calculation by accepting the recognition of oneself as a being, a dichotomy of active and passive occurs that may be called delusion.” And from zen master Keizan: “Indeed, since people lack nothing, it is a pity that they wander so much in illusion once they have been deluded by their perception.” As my friend Rondy would often say, “Well, there you have it.” |
