WHEN MOVED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OTHERS – ZEN

” When moved to complain about others, remember that karma is endless and it’s loving that leads to love. “

Basically you get what you put out. We all know at least one person in our lives that all they do is complain and try to bring other people down. What do they get out of it? Negativity towards them because they are negative. Then we all know a bunch of people that are loving and caring. What do they get out of it. Positivity and love. So what are you going to be putting out?

IF MY HEART CAN BECOME PURE – ZEN

” If my heart can become pure and simple like that of a child, I think there probably can be no greater happiness than this. “

Life would be so much more beautiful if we all could do this. But egos and ambitions get in the way. We grow older and are taught the opposites of being a child.

EVERY DAY IS A GOOD DAY – ZEN

” Every day is a good day. “

Every day that we are alive is a good day. Yes granted there might be “bad” things that happen but every day is still a good day. It’s all in how you look at it. Don’t allow bad or negative parts of a day completely define your day. Seek out the positives and keep your focus on them.

DO NOT SEEK TO FOLLOW – ZEN

” Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought. Zen is your everyday thought. “

One must have their own path or journey. They can have the same final destination but different paths. Each days thoughts must be focused.

ZEN HAS NOTHING TO GRAB ON TO – ZEN

” Zen has nothing to grab on to. When people who study Zen don’t see it, that is because they approach too eagerly. “

Basically sometimes we can be so eager to find something that we overlook the obvious. Other times we have such narrow vision on one thing we miss out on what we should be really looking at. Don’t approach too eagerly. Approach with calmness and openness.
