“A bowl of food and a droplet of water, learning compassion from a tiny blade of grass.
Instead of the racket of the city, we can finally become our True Selves through the noble silence flowing within this place.”
We can learn, the great sages and zen masters tell us, from anything.
An ant crossing our path, a bird singing, the wind through the trees, compassion from a blade of grass, as it gently holds a drop of water.
Look around you today, stay awake to each passing moment. Miss nothing, you have everything to gain.
