Zen thoughts

Zen Fables for Today: Stories Inspired by the Zen Masters ~ by Richard McLean, 1998, short stories, 130 pages, 10/10

Mindfulness, compassion, humor, and enlightenment are the cornerstones of Zen philosophy — a way of thinking and being that is practical and liberating today as it was two thousand years ago.  In these lovely and deceptively simple parable are relevant truths for our modern times.

This book definitely made me stop and think,
like Rodin's statue of the Thinker.

One idea I want to think about is that we are born again with each new day.  Think about it:  yesterday is gone forever, and tomorrow may never come.
