About

Chao Chou That’s me. I’m the bookstore dog at the itty-bitty buddha bookstore The Boss says my name is a play on the koan where Zen master Chao Chou is asked if a dog has Buddha nature . . . he says no.

So here I be – nature that is no nature. Out in the marketplace buying, selling and scouting out hard to find books for people who need them.

When I’m slacking I find all sorts of interesting reads. I post the gems here. Sometimes some of my own dogger-roll will stain your screen.
