Koohii stories:

1) [johnskb] 22-5-2006(203): Knowing ZEN’s emphasis on “nothingness,” it’s not hard to envision a ZEN ALTAR being quite clean and SIMPLE.

2) [fuaburisu] 13-1-2006(42): Simple-minded blond girl (see frame 1928) is very good at Zen, which isn't surprising since she doesn't think much. She has this bad habit of meditating perched on the main temple altar, which infuriates the Zen buddhists. When they get up to her and tell her rudely to step down the altar, she just smiles and teases them : "Not very zen are you ?". Who would have thought simple-minded blond girl would teach the Zen buddhists a lesson !

3) [mairov] 13-3-2008(27): The Zen altar is really simple.

4) [jonny_wonny] 23-6-2009(22): Because Zen is so simple, you don't need an alter, just a quiet place to sit.

5) [Hoticehunter] 16-3-2012(8): Guys, if you're just going to make your story some variation of "Zen altars are simple", do you really need to share it publicly? There's 100 other stories saying exactly the same thing. You don't need to check the "share this story" box for every story you make. Don't make people wade through 100 stories that are exactly the same just to find the one that's different and works for them.
