Finding it

Hi.

One evening by the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

”Buddhism is all about finding the discovery of the sacred in the midst of the humble and ordinary.”

Body like morning mist

Mind like empty sky

Thought like summer breeze

Just like me

Question everything

Hi.

One evening by the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

” As you sit down and step into the silence it is an good opportunity to think about the question ”What am i doing here and why?”
In a sense its a good opportunity to question everything.”

A house of bricks

Hi.


One evening at the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

"Our practice is like building a house of bricks.
You put down brick by brick until you have a finished house, yet at same time, once you put down your first brick your house is built."

Easier to smile on sunny days

Students talking

Hi.

One day Owl and Turtle was talking.

"Have you realized, " Turtle said "that zenmasters like Monkey is just like riddles?
They make an apparently nonsensical statement and then, one day, you suddenly realize "aha, so thats what it meant!""
