    One,two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock,
    Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock,
    Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock,
    We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

    Put your glad rags on and join me, hon,
    We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,
    We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
    We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
    We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.


    When the clock strikes two, three and four,
    If the band slows down we'll yell for more,
    We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
    We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
    We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.


    When the chimes ring five, six and seven,
    We'll be right in seventh heaven.
    We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
    We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
    We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.


    When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
    I'll be goin' strong and so will you.
    We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
    We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
    We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.


    When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then,
    Start a rockin' round the clock again.
    We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
    We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
    We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

    The Zen master said , Cheeseburger please , mind give me plenty of relish with that.

    And Then the Burger man said ... Certainly Sir.

    Now then Sir, please show me now your mind that wanted the relish !


    And when the Zen master heard this he was really hungry and fully enlightened.

    Commnetary

    When we examine the mind which desires, we find there is no such mind to be found, when the hallucination of the ego boundary and desires cease then enlightenment follows naturally.

    Notes

    In the Koan of the Zen Master and the Burger Man , it is the secular which enlightens the Spiritual (ie the Burger Man enlightens the Zen Master) for distinctions between enlightenment and illusion only exist in the the world of sense Duality, in Zen there are no such distinctions.

    Now and Zen

    Now and Zen


    One bright sunny day an IT contractor visited the Buddah with a bunch of flowers in his right hand and a bunch of flowers in his left hand.

    As he approached the Buddah said , now drop that which is in your right hand.

    And so he let the flowers fall to the ground.

    Walking closer to the Buddah, he said , now drop what is in your left hand.

    And so he let the flowers fall to the ground.

    Now he stood directly in front of the Buddah and the Buddah proclaimed,

    Now drop that which is neither in your right hand or your left.

    Upon hearing this the IT contractor immediately became enlightened.

    Try amusing yourself by thinking of the ways you could really upset all the people you don't like. Failing that have 8 beers at lunch
