MonkThoughts

A nun once asked the abbess:

"What is the meaning of life?"

The abbess replied:

"What motivates your question?"

 The nun thinking for a while said:
"Fear."

The abbess said:

"Resolve your fear and you won't need 

an answer to the meaning of life."

MonkThoughts

A visiting monk asked the abbess,

 "How do I know if I am wasting my time?"

The abbess replied:

"If you are suffering."

The Abbess taught:

"If you want to discover 

what you don't know yet about yourself, 

investigate why you say what you say."

MonkThoughts

A young monk asked the abbess:

"How can I recognise if someone is enlightened?"

The abbess replied:

"The first thing to consider, 

is if they are helpful to other human beings."

still watching my shadow

watching found works in the forest

there is a rich booty

to be found daily everywhere

Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

found in the forest
