| The Exquisite Taste of Plain Water
When we are able to fully appreciate the basic activities of eating and drinking, we discover an ancient secret, the secret of how to become content and at ease. The Zen teachings talk about the exquisite taste of plain water. Have you ever been very, very thirsty? Maybe you were on a long hike, or sick, or working without a break in the summer heat. When you were finally able to drink, even plain water, you remember how wonderful it was. Actually, each sip of liquid and each bite of food can be that fresh and delicious, once we learn again just to be present. – Jan Chozen Bays, “Mindful Eating” |

| The Goal of Every Religion
Zen is becoming one with all truths. It is easy to be misled by the word “zazen” and think that it refers to some special practice, but this is not the case. If the goal of all religious practice in the world is to become one with the truth, then this is all Zen. – Harada Sekkei Roshi, “Zen Basics “ |

| Great Questioning, Great Awakening
The most important part of the practice is for the question to remain alive and for your whole body and mind to become a question. In Zen they say that you have to ask with the pores of your skin and the marrow of your bones. A Zen saying points out: Great questioning, great awakening; little questioning, little awakening; no questioning, no awakening. – Martine Bachelor, “What is This?” |

| The God of Silent Music
Zen and Catholicism meet deep inside me . . . There is nothing to contradict and nothing to harmonize. They don’t say the same thing, because they don’t say anything. They don’t address the one God expressed in different languages, because the only God there is, is the God of silent music. – Thomas Moore, “Zen Catholic “ |

 The Bodhisattva Vow
Beginning students commonly ask how they can honestly vow to save all beings. It sounds like missionary arrogance. Hui-neng [the Sixth Zen Patriarch] offers a response: ‘You are saving them in your own mind.’ It is bodhichitta that you are cultivating–your own aspiration for wisdom and compassion, and your determination to practice it in the world as best you can. – Robert Aitken Roshi, “The Bodhisattva Vows “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Mini Mindfulness Break for January 17, 2020
 In Zen we hear, “The only thing that is born and the only thing that dies is the ego.” We know that the ego is an illusion, a conglomerate of processes that appear real but are not. So, the only thing that is born and that dies is an illusion of being separate from Life, which does not die and is not born.

 Innocent Consciousness
The work of Zen is to reach the ground of being, to perceive the true nature of the self, which, as it turns our, is a phantom. This is also the work of poetry, at least for me: to erode the membrane between self and the world, so that a newly innocent consciousness can emerge, one that sees what it sees without commentary, analysis, or judgment. – Chase Twichell, “Second Innocence: With Basho at Sesshin “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
