YEAR OF ZEN: SPRING: DAY 45

Q: What about Buddhism and Zen makes you curious and what can you do to explore things further?

A: The thing that makes me the most curious and excited about Zen Buddhism and its practical application is the harmonious thread it shares with the natural rhythms of the universe. It asks us to consider and live within things as they are, not necessarily as we expect them to be. This isn’t to say that we are limited in impacting positive change. Rather, that by considering where we are, where we are going, and reacting accordingly we will will have more impact than becoming frustrated by things not being the way we want or expect them to be.
