"In my early years of practice, aglow from some opening experiences and immersion in Koan study, I took a sabbatical from university teaching to live at a zen center. The first night, turning on the light room in the recently purchased old building, I found the place blanketed with thousands of roaches. I ran out and slept in the meditation hall. The next day, wondering how to proceed, I looked to one of zen's precepts; 'Do not kill'. Hmmm, does that apply to roaches?
