No it's a really good book full of many comics based on traditional Zen stories. It's called Zen Speaks: Shouts of Nothingness.

There are a good number of the comics online but no eBook.

Might not happen for you, and there might not be anything you can do to change it. Like the people on X Factor who are total shit singers yet try year after year to become the next Ariana Grande (or whoever is trendy), and we all know how it ends...

Could you be cool with that if that was the case?

Of course, who wants that stupidity if you can have the truth? One minute of truth is better than a life of material success. But it's easy to get lost in the ambition. Happens to me every day
