Dedication

This book is dedicated to Leo Buscaglia.

Zen Parable

I am reminded of the great Zen parable where a man was hanging from a cliff with a hungry lion above him and a hungry bear below him. Surely he was going to die no matter what he did. Of course he simply looked over to pluck a strawberry off a vine and replied: How Delicious!

Buddhist Reflection

A young Buddhist woman cried one day before eating her small bowl of rice knowing that this would be her only opportunity ever to enjoy this simple meal.

Message

Love is the only solution to human existence.
