Who binds you?
A monk asked Seng ts’an, “Master, show me the way to liberation.”
Seng ts’an replied, “Who binds you?”
The monk responded, “No one binds me.”
Seng ts’an said, “Then why do you seek liberation?”

This is gorgeous!! I have a thing about smooth moving gifs (always on the lookout for them) and this is very smooth indeed! 😀
Is it Suzy. Folks who produce these have amazing talent.
P.S. Haven’t been able to make a comment on your blog for ages because of this WordPress nonsense and dysfunction that’s been going on – but today it seems to be resolved! I may be speaking too soon though!! 😉
