Daily Zen - Tuesday, May 25

We do not see that our life right here, 

right now, is nirvana. Maybe we think that 

nirvana is a place where there are no problems, 

no more delusions. Maybe we think nirvana is 

something beautiful, something unattainable. 

We always think nirvana is something 

different from our own life.

Daily Zen - Thursday, March 19

Where you stand, where you are,

that's what your life is right there,

regardless of how painful it is or

how enjoyable it is. That's what it is.

Daily Zen - Monday, May 14

We do not see that our life right here, right now,

is nirvana. Maybe we think that nirvana is a place

where there are no problems, no more delusions.

Maybe we think nirvana is something very beautiful,

something unattainable. We always think nirvana

is something very different from our own life.
