A Way To Live – Zen

by
I have just finished my new book A Way To Live – Zen.
You can see and/or buy it on Amazon eBooks or in soft cover.
In order to move the book up to the top post I have priced it very attractively, (8.88 & 16.41). So please open the site, forward it to some friends, and purchase the book. I guarantee that you will find many inspirational and thought-provoking ideas throughout the pages especially the chapter on health.

Also please Email me back so I have your updated email and I can add you to the book signing party list. Keep in touch.

Cheers,
Satoru

I used to have a handle on life but it broke. 

A Zen student reached the banks of a wide river. Looking out and across to the wide bank he saw his master on the far shore picking up flat white rocks. He called out to his teacher asking, “Master, how do I get to the other side?”  “Fool!” shouted the master; “You’re already on the other side!”

“Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t someone tell me?”

“I’m telling you now.”

When you change the way you look at things the things you look at change.

It used to be Think Yiddish, dress British and talk Chinese.  Now it’s, Talk Black, think White, love Yellow, and act Green.

Be careful of the computer age and the Internet information age.  It is becoming easier to download information a second or third time then to memorize it.  We no longer have to remember anything. Just Google it and the machine remembers for us. We are actually spending our lives in front of a screen mixing, mashing, downloading, uploading and feeding the network.

This magnified, collaborative interaction, complexly ebbed, into our environment and lives, is morphing into our identity.

The ancestor to every action is a thought. Emerson

A woman dropped her keys.  She got down on her hands and knees and searched for them.  She prayed to her God that she would find them. A man came over to her and asked what was wrong.  She explained that she lost her keys.  “Where did you lose them?” the man asked. “Over there in the grass” the women replied.  “Then why are you searching over here on the sidewalk.” He asked.  Because there’s more light here under the lamppost.” She answered.  An old joke with many variations but indicative of how some of us try to solve our problems.  We create our problems on the inside and try to solve them by looking outside of ourselves.

Follow the three R’s: Respect for self, respect for others, responsibility for all your actions

There is only one time to wake up…now.  

One of the joys of life is beginning.  Learning anything is a new beginning and a human evolution. Pride is the greatest obstacle to learning.  This is why children, without self-awareness and ego, learn most easily and why some vain adults cannot learn at all.

Read more great literature.
