I hadn't seen it in thirty-some years. Thirty-several: in the early 70s, at the height of Hippie Posters everywhere, there was a nicely produced one of this sutra -- without attribution, as I recall, in the fine old hippie tradition, leaving us to discover later that the anonymous author was the famous Snyder. Anyway, it was valuable to be reminded of it now. Drown their butts. Crush their butts. Thank you, thank you for the link to the sutra. I hadn’t seen it in thirty-some years.

Drown their butts.
Crush their butts.

I particularly loved: <i>The twisting strata of the great mountains and the pulsings of volcanoes are my love burning deep in the earth....</i> If only we humans had the sense not to build our civilization so close to the places where that love boils to the surface. Thanks for sharing the wonderful sutra. I'll send all my best thoughts and hopes to the monks in the Carmel valley. Goodness me, I had no idea old Smokey was so spiritual.
