Zen Practice Principles

In spacious stillness,

With thoughts not followed,
conditioning loses its hold.

With hardship and humiliation embraced,
fear and separation dissolve.

Letting go of my agenda,
anger and frustration have nowhere to breed.

Letting go of my opinions,
ignorance has nowhere to hide.

Admitting to the treasure within,
desires lose their grip.

Admitting to human frailty,
grace is everywhere apparent.
