(This piece was inspired after reading about the Zen kaon referred to as “Bring me the Rhinoceros!” in a book about how to allow Zen koans (and they’re strangeness) to work on your mind to help you open up to the mystery of the Truth. It is a bit of a jig on that Zen master’s masterful stroke. I hope it makes you smile and wonder.)
ingredients:
rhinoceros
chopped onions
a broth made of your emotions.
Add chopped onions to broth; simmer.
When done, pour into delicate porcelain bowl, white, painted with little blue flowers.
Now, dip rhinoceros.
