Dedicated in gratitude to Richard Rose for his generous gift to us, and to my fellow "Rosebuds" of the TAT Foundation who labor to make it Reality.

Warm thanks also to Jim Burns and Alan Kahaney for their special friendship and to David Lane for his understanding support.

Re: "Killing the Buddha": According to Rose, a crippled chicken can still lay a healthy egg. And according to Zen, after Realization, as mountains are once more mountains, thus too chickens are once more chickens. Nonetheless, while this finger pointing at the moon is crooked and dirty, its aim is true. Sometimes, the Buddha commits suicide for us...
