Cricket

The blind Zen master asked his disciple if he could hear the cricket resting at his feet,

The disciple chuckled, saying that is not possible...and yet, at his feet sat a cricket.

In surprise, the disciple asked "how is it that you can hear the sound of the cricket?"

The Zen master responded saying " how is it you cannot?"

Suffering is the result of wanting things to be different than they are...! It is the acceptance of what is real, that transforms...

Beyond thought, beyond emotions, what are you...? Do you sense deeply that you are part the eternal the one life?

You can not control the past, nor control the future...you can not control what is rising in the sunrise nor fading in the distance...
