I recommended one of Lama Surya Das books today. These Zen Commandments come from The Big Questions - How to Find Your Own Answers to Lifes Essential Mysteries. Lama Surya Das Zen Commandments ~ Take care, stay aware. Watch your step. Pay attention---it pays off. ~ Awaken your mind, open your heart and energize yourself. Learn to see clearly and love generously. ~ Find a way to live your own spiritual practice. Develop an ongoing spiritual life, not just a few spiritual experiences. ~ Dont see others light. Exploit your own innate natural resources for a change. Mine the mind. ~ Freedom is a process, not just an idea or ideal outcome. Progress is more important than perfection. ~ Learn to accept, to let go, and let be. Allow. ~ Lighten up while enlightening up. Cultivate joy. Dont take yourself too seriously, or it wont be much fun. ~ Dont cling to anything. Recognize everything is impermanent and like a dream, a movie, a sitcom. Remember the daily mantra: This Too Shall Pass. ~ Not too tight, and not too loose. Stay attuned to the big picture. ~ Be mindful. Pay attention. Keep your eyes peeled. Be vigilant and intelligent about your experiments with reality. ~ Be here while getting there, every single step of the way. ~ Dont rely on mere words and concepts. Just say maybe. ~ Dont be deceived by ideas and opinions, either others or your own. You just cant believe whatever you think. Life is precious; handle with prayer. Be good and do good. Its now or never, as always. Meditate as fast as you can. https://facebook/notes/dan-woo/lama-surya-das-zen-commandments/10152612374208375
