its goin to be zen all this month

still recovering from the aftermath of Zen zing zest zap ; i thgt would continue be zen all this month and share the experience with u all; and take it from ther in my blog;

some of the excrpts from the book which i bind myself with

Zen is not a religion, it is living life in its totality, herenow. Religions are always postponing life: they are giving you beautiful illusions about life somewhere in the future, far away, beyond death. That is a strategy to divert and distract you from the realities of life. That is pure cowardice. It is also a
rationalization so that you can be consoled: ’If life is miserable today there is nothing to be worried about, tomorrow everything is going to be well. In fact, to suffer life today is a preparation for enjoying life tomorrow, so the more you suffer the better. There is no reason to complain, no reason to rebel, no reason to revolt against all those things which are causing misery

zen take on education :

This stuffed knowledge does not make people wise, it simply hides their ignorance. This is not education, it simply represses their ignorance. Real education will help the child to be more intelligent.

and a joke 2 go with it

A young professor had been invited to address a poultry convention. ’The first thing you must do, to
properly raise a flock,’ he said, ’is to separate the male chicks from the female chicks.’
After he finished, a lady enquired, ’How can you tell male chicks from female chicks?’
’Well,’ he said, ’you go out into your yard and dig a pailful of worms. Then you set them before
the chicks, and the male chicks will eat the male worms, and the female chicks will eat the female
worms. ’
’Yes, but, Professor, how do you tell a male worm from a female worm?’
’Madam,’ came the answer, ’I’m a poultry expert, not a worm expert!’

Zen and Me

its been a tough month , hectic schedueles, death lines and some major acquistions happenin , its been busy at work ;

Now its feels like a city after tsunami i know a wrong metaphor , but i am feeling good now for all the right reasons, normal back to work and thing are goin on, read a couple of books surely ur jkoin mr.freymann , and zen zing zest zap were one of them

Yes, I agree with James Broughton: ’Zen is another word for Zest, living life passionately, making life a joy, a festival, a feasting, a love, a laughter – yes, he is right – ’for zip and zap and zing. If you have no appetite for life as it is, and are not excited by the koan of what this here life is about, then
Zen is not for you.’

a must read book which i managed to finish after one sittin gave me a fresh lease of life ,

cheers world
