The tail has a mind of its own.

that’s a status of Nirvana

Mind your own business.

No judgement on pooch’s meditation practice. Perhaps he has reached transcendence. Pretty sure my tail would wag if I attained that exalted state.

A wagging tail is evidence of some degree of nirvana; what is an open eyeball evidence of?

Yes, but at least they’re happ thoughts.

He’s focused on a certain fire hydrant!!!

Nothing going on here that a fly swatter couldn’t fix.

“And you can’t be focused on your own thoughts if you’re paying attention to what my tail is doing.”

Bacon!

Can’t you see? Nothing makes him happy!

He’s nama-staying.

Inner peace makes him happy.

Hey! You do it your way and I’ll do it my way!

He who notices the tail cannot be thinking of nothing.

tail tell

He’s reached Nirvana…..

And you can’t possibly be thinking about nothing if you’re watching my tail, you weirdo.

I’m thinking that anyone who thinks a dog can do yoga is weird. :)

If I was a dog, that would be me every time I thought about donuts.

Is that a banana in your pocket, or …

Any human’s presence causes me joy because I am involved in mankind. Therefore, ask not for whom the tail wags; it wags for thee.

I love happy tails!!

Hey wait just one second . . . that “meditating” monk is peeking! No fair, friar!

Is that Jôshû’s dog?
