Stop, look, go

Dear all,
I came across this talk by Brother David Steindl-Rast today on TED talks. There is really nothing in it that is different to what Jundo teaches here on Treeleaf but I still found it to be very fresh and inspiring.

Want to be happy? Be grateful

http://www.ted.com/talks/david_steindl_rast_want_to_be_happy_be_grateful?language=en

The one thing all humans have in common is that each of us wants to be happy, says Brother David Steindl-Rast, a monk and interfaith scholar. And happiness, he suggests, is born from gratitude. An inspiring lesson in slowing down, looking where you're going, and above all, being grateful.

Gassho,
David

Look upon the world as a bubble,
regard it as a mirage;
who thus perceives the world,
him Mara, the king of death, does not see.
