Embrace the smile
that is this moment.
Embrace the smile
that is you.
This is Zen.
This is Buddhism.
This ain’t
complicated. This ain’t supposed to be some big mystery.
And it sure as Sherlock don’t need to be revealed to you from some orange
robe wearing dude with a funky accent.
Zen is simplicity
itself.
Zen is you...
being enlightening, having confidence in your actions, and trusting
that you are on the right path.
You will know that
you are on the right path, because your mind will be at ease. You
will have no worries. And you will have no fears.
For you are the
smile that is this moment.
And nothing else
need matter.
Zen made easy, as
it was meant to be.
For meditation is
nothing more than the art of waiting patiently: for knowledge, for
insight, for peace, and for death.
I mean, you do want to die, to experience that little death, don’t you?
