ENLIGHTENMENT DESCRIBED
An amazing description of an enlightenment experience from the Master Sokei-an Sasaki: “One day I wiped out all notions from my mind. I gave up all desire. I discarded all the words which I thought and stayed in quietude. I felt a little queer — as if I were being carried into something, or as – Read More –

HEALING POWER OF TOUCH
This is awesome! And the person in the middle of this circle is truly blessed! You can see that he feels the love…check out that huge smile!

Recently, while reading Deepak Chopra’s The Seven Spiritual Law of Superheroes, I – Read More –

Two monks were once traveling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was falling. Coming around the bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection. “Come on, girl,” said the first monk. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.

DO NOTHING
I like this comic…it reminds of the puzzle I faced when I first began studying Eastern wisdom traditions. When one is studying Zen or the Tao, it can be confusing to constantly be reminded to “do nothing” or “go with the flow.” Does that mean you’re actually supposed to do nothing??

THE ANGEL SAID
She caught me off guard when my soul said to me, “Have we met?” So surprised I was to hear her speak like that I chuckled. She begin to sing a tale: “There was once a hardworking man who used to worry so much because he could not feed and clothe his children and wife – Read More –
