This reading presented such an unwavering acceptance and peace. It intrigued me.

Perception and response make such an impact in life. The Zen Master doesn't give power over to things to allow things to control a response. The Zen Master has chosen to look at things clearly and remove the power from things that don't deserve such power, and instead reserved the power to control perception of and response to things...allowing an objective perspective. Being objective can really help in making good decisions and controlling responses.

The Zen Master's mind is perfectly straightforward, no front or back, no deceit or delusion, everything observed is common and beautifully formed. Being unattached to things, the Zen Master can accept things as they come and not have to interefere with or block perception of things. Having clear, good thinking habits, the Zen Master is untroubled, calm, peaceful.

I'm hoping to try to incorporate more of this into my life. My daughter just came home with her first speeding ticket last night...guess I have the perfect opportunity to try this out! :)
