A few days into Rohatsu the unthinkable happens . . .
NO MORE OAT MEAL!
The Head Monk and Tenzo slip out to score.
Deep in shopping samadhi
UH OH! In store bakery.
Fresh baked goods.
I can't eat it in front of Tenzo.
Where?
No privacy at the zendo - 'cept the head and I do not want to eat there.
ROSHI, I got something for you!
PORRIDGE
IS EFFECTIVE IN TEN WAYS
TO AID THE STUDENT OF ZEN.
NO LIMIT TO THE GOOD RESULT,
CONSUMMATING ETERNAL HAPPINESS
