I often wish

For a perfect state of calm. It seems I’m always internally on edge. Afraid that at any moment, I’ll lose everything important to me, but then I just think to myself, breathe, be, om.

phrolik:

I want to get lost in nature with someone. I want to share a bond of unconditional love with that person. I want to sit in a clearing, surrounded by blooming trees. I want to get lost in thought and come back out, just to see that person in the same mind state. I will smile, then get lost once more. Always knowing that I will return to a place just as beautiful as the one I’ve just left. 

A Cup of Tea

“Like this cup,” Nan-in said, “you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?”

It will pass

stonersphilosophy:

A student went to his meditation teacher and said, “My meditation is horrible! I feel so distracted, or my legs ache, or I’m constantly falling asleep. It’s just horrible!”

“It will pass,” the teacher said matter-of-factly.

A week later, the student came back to his teacher. “My meditation is wonderful! I feel so aware, so peaceful, so alive! It’s just wonderful!’

“It will pass,” the teacher replied matter-of-factly.
