Hello from Fig Tree

Hi,

I think it may have been a good time to create a forum like this one, and I thank the people responsible for getting it started up.

I'm a beginner. I'm a mathematician who takes an overly intellectual approach to many things.

I'm hopeful however that I can begin practicing more seriously in the near future, and contribute to the community here and elsewhere.

I have read this story many times in different forms. :clap:

I think I read it for the first time as a teenager in a book from a non-Buddhist religious tradition, possibly even before I was aware that there was such a thing as Zen. It's a very popular story!

Good to see retro, bubba, and Ben here too.
