ZEN STORIES: “What is compassion?”

A Young disciple came to ask his master:“Master, what is compassion?”

It’s time for our reflections, Looking back on work and play,
To bow our head and close our eyes, And count our blessings for this day.

“We are stars wrapped in skin-the light you are seeking has always been within”

When I was traveling through Greece a few years ago, I saw a lot of stray dogs and cats, in the streets as well as the sites of the ruins areas

I know you think you’re human, but I am glad it isn’t true…The world would be a nicer place
if folks were more like you!

Always remember to forget
the troubles that have passed away.But never forget to remember the blessings that come each day.

I would rather have one small rose, from the garden of a friend
than to have the choicest flowers, when my stay on Earth must end.

Do you love someone? Then tell them! Has someone been an influence in your life?

When you look for peace,
then the peace lies within you.

A butterfly came into my room and the drab walls began to bloom,

…That oneness you can’t know by reasoning.
