Daily Zen

Today's Zen (2 December 2011):

"Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed."
- Buddha

Zen from Monday 22 August 2011:

"Walking is Zen,
Sitting, too, is Zen.
If I speak or am silent,
Tarry or hasten:
Everything, in its true nature,
Is stillness."
- Shodoka

Zen from Monday 7 November 2011:

"For it is by giving that one receives; It is by self-forgetting that one finds; It is by forgiving that one is forgiven; It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life."
- St. Francis of Assisi
