The Simple Way, Part 54

The Simple Way
The Life & Teachings of Zhouzi
by Scott Bradley

Zhouzi addressed the assembly and said, “What is all this seriousness?! Everywhere I go I see striving and trying and wishing to be. One monk moves slowly as if not part of this world. Another works frantically as if digging a tunnel to freedom. And most of you beat yourselves relentlessly with feelings of failure! Enough! If you cannot relax and laugh at it all, you follow a path other than the one here espoused. When you laugh at yourself, you step through the gate.”
