Zen Made Easy

I have been reading an excellent little book called "Zen Made Easy" by Timothy Freke.

Here is a taste -

Zen is nothing special. It is living our everyday lives as an extraordinary adventure of spiritual awakening. It is doing what we do, but doing it with full awareness. Zen is not about introducing spirituality into our lives. It is recognising the miracle of the lives we are already living.

Enjoy your day!

Here's another little taste -

Zen teaches that anything we think we are is just a thought in the mind. We are not the thought. We are the consciousness that witnesses the thought. But even to say this is just another thought!

Enjoy!
