Learning from Dogs

Dogs are integrous animals. We have much to learn from them.

Integrity starts in the soul

“Be master of mind rather than mastered by mind.”

This is one of, literally, hundreds of Zen quotes.  Of course Zen Buddhism does not have the exclusivity of quotes that stir the heart.  Every one of man’s great religions and followings is embroidered with beautiful quotations.  Here’s one, more or less at random, from Christianity.

‘Faith is to believe what we do not see;

and the reward of this faith

is to see what we believe.’

Whatever gives you solace, it is important to have something that allows you to be a little retrospective from time to time (and we are not talking alcohol or drugs here!).  Remember, you can’t give away what you don’t own!

So when this Blog, ZenHabits, caught my eye, it seemed worthy of mention and of adding to the Blog Roll.  We will see if this resonates with you, the reader.  Either way, do let me know via your comments.
