The big joke of practice, is that the simpler it is, the harder for us to grasp and live it. We yearn for difficulty, challenge, obstacles to prove how smart and strong we are..Zen practice, which is the plainest and simplest practice of all, makes this dilemma apparent. It returns us to the simple moments and facts of our lives. Rather than follow the mad mind within, we turn ourselves to what is here now, and to the one within who always knows the way. You have all your answers and all the direction you need right now. Just stop looking for it elsewhere.Say no, to the lies that hound you and return to the precious life you are living right now.
