The Secret

Artist: BigJoni!

“Zen consists in faith in your innate quality of intelligence in your organic pattern. Trust it. After all, your eyes are beautifully blue or brown, your hair is wonderfully brunette or blond. Your breathing is fantastic. Your heart is working beautifully. That is your Zen. Go ahead.”
 -Bankei

Attention is the highest form of intelligence. When attentive, every movement is appropriate, and every thought assists.

When inattentive: you don’t know what is happening—it’s pretty much a crapshoot if anything turns out properly, or if mental activity is anything but debilitating.

Zen is the attention, or the intelligence, in which every aspect of living perfects itself.

The secret to peaceful living is in attention itself.
