neonvincentMy wife and I watched "The Last Jedi" last week and my reaction was a Zen koan: “If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him!” The film did it twice and nearly succeeded a third time.
While I wrote that I probably wouldn't post a song, the key word was probably. I have just the song for this post, Shriekback's "Gunning for the Buddha," which is inspired by this koan. Listen to what Barry Andrews calls "the first Zen pop song."
