Empty your mind,
Be formless, shapeless, like water.
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.
You put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow, or it can crash,
Be water my friend
~Bruce Lee~


go with the flow :)

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.
When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: "don't step on the ducks!"

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.
St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"

The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.

She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St.
Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin.

St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.
The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"

The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"


have a wonderful weekend
(and watch where you step!)

"Not
thinking about anything is zen.
Once you know this walking,
standing, sitting or lying down, everything you do is zen.
To know that the mind is empty is to see the buddha.
The buddhas of the ten directions have no mind.
To see
no mind is to see the buddha."
~Bodhidharma~

my Friend,
wishing you Peace and Harmony
throughout your day

much love

A teacher tried to persuade her students to stop smoking. She, however, smoked, and her efforts were therefore not very convincing. She was propagating methods to overcome addiction while being a living example of addiction. Young people seldom do what you tell them; they do what you do. She realized her efforts would remain futile unless she stopped smoking herself, which she did with tremendous effort. Her freeing herself from her own addiction was a beautiful act of compassion towards her students. It was an inspiring example of liberation to her students, some of whom gave up smoking. In the final analysis, she also learned to love herself more, for she had also decreased the risks to her own health. Her compassion increased her own insight into the power of teaching without words.

        Teaching without words, performing without actions:
                     that is the Master's way.

     The teacher became wiser because of her own compassion.
Compassion promotes wisdom. Wisdom increases compassion.


thank you for your friendship
with love and gratitude

The Complaint

"The sea was much better," the traveler complained. "Whenever I got tired it at least had its currents to push me forward on my journey but you," he looked at the vast desert surrounding him, "you are of no help."

He went down on his knees, dead tired. When his breaths restored back to normalcy, a while later, he heard the desert's voice.

"I agree. I am of no help like the sea and thus I often depress people. But do you really think people will remember you for crossing the sea? Never! For the sea doesn't allow you to leave any mark. I, on the contrary, do. Thus, if you cross me, I swear, you will in turn immortalize yourself with the imprints you leave over me!"

The traveler got the essence and got up to walk on. "It's always about the imprints," his heart echoed.

"Those who know, do not say;
Those who say, do not know."
When the master entered,
they asked him what the words meant.
Said the master, "Which of you knows the fragrance of a rose?"
All of them indicated that they knew.
Then he said, "Put it into words."
All of them were silent.
