Thanks to Rick Matz of Cook Ding’s Kitchen (see blogroll links) I got to hear a great quote from Venerable Master Sheng-yen:
“Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course. It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices. Just follow it.Never let it out of your sight. It will take you there.”
And in looking for the source of this wisdom (upon which I hope to contemplate a bit) I found a blog called Tai Chi Cork http://taichicork.blogspot.com/
Tai Chi Cork offerred this advice which I agree with wholeheartedly:
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was ‘Thank You’, that would suffice.” - Meister Eckhart
