Enlightenment Poem by Bassui

What is this mind?

Who is hearing these sounds?

Do not mistake any state for

Self-realization, but continue

To ask yourself even more intensely,

What is it that hears?

You are truth
You are love
You are bliss
You are freedom

Favorite Osho Quote:  My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently.

Song Parody of 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover by Paul Simon

Zen Ways To Leave Your Stress

The answer is all inside your mind
Tao said to me
The solution is plain if you
Stop seeking & be free
I’d like to help you in your quest
To simply be
There must be Zen ways
To leave your stress

At the center of your being
Din must stop
I know it’s not easy
But a jug fills drop by drop
So Zen just close your eyes
Say om and your soul will pop!
There must be Zen ways
To leave your stress
Zen ways to leave your stress

CHORUS:

You just learn to relax, Max
Find a little peace, Pete
No need to atone, Joan
Just set yourself free    
So look inward, Leonard
You don’t need to go wayward
Slow breathing is the key, Lee    
And say om after me
