Mr. Greenberg is on his first retreat.

He goes up to Ajan Mula Mula.

Is that good?

Mula Mula.

He says, I'm eating all this vegetarian food and I've got, I've got terrible gas.

I'm farting all the time, but they're odorless and soundless.

But I'd like you to recommend something because, you know, I'm farting all the time.

And Mula, Mula thinks he thinks he goes well it all comes back to the breath

just breathe in deep hold breathe out breathe in deep hold breathe out so Greenberg goes away

he comes back the next day and he goes, Ajan, the farts now smell horribly.

What do you have to say for yourself?

And Ahjana says,

relax, relax, relax, now that we've cleared up your sinuses will work on your earring. All right, so I'm Mula, he's at the center.

He's before the Buddha, and he's bowing.

He's saying, I who am no one who have nothing, may my acts pave the way to liberation.

And then the Anagarica, his training monk, comes and bows next to him and says I whom nothing

whom no one I am no one may my acts pave the way to liberation and the janitor is watching this and he's so moved that he puts down the mop and he walks right next to him and he starts bowing.

He goes, I who am no one who am nothing. And while he's doing this the Anagarica pokes Aijon and says look who thinks he's no one

it's not like there's another comedian down the block that you can choose for you.

You gotta...

So the fact that I am giving this talk, as Chris said the other night, the fact that I'm giving this talk means that I didn't choose it because I would never

give this talk which is why I'm just filling it up with this kind of material.
