Contact of a Zen Kind

With palms together


Good Morning Everyone,



Zen vital requires a in advance reorientation to life. When such a spin happens what was once important no longer seems so; what was once unimportant is right away significant. It is this ostensible turning of life upside down which disturbs some of us, as good as so many of those around us. Conversely, it is what makes life so smashing for those who open their eyes. Yet, it is usually a ostensible turning of things. In truth, it is just a change in where you place a mind.



Two short, universal lists:

What is significant?

A glass of water.

A splinter of a moon in a sky.

Loving someone; being desired by someone.

The taste of things.

The feel of things.

The smell of things.

The sound of things.



What is insignificant?

Our thoughts about a above.

Hurrying to get somewhere.

Getting somewhere.

Our social status; anothers social status.

The sort of car you drive.

How far-reaching a TV screen is.

That you have a TV in a initial place.



We competence cruise making a own lists upon a day-to-day basis. Doing so can be a approach of gripping things fresh. The change is about knowledge rsther than than analysis; a spin toward a direct contact with a thing itself.



This is Contact of a Zen Kind.



Be well.Zen wisdom for every day living.
