Hello from Zen Moments - a collection of beautiful and inspiring true stories.
Zen Moments are the small things that make a huge difference…
Zen Moments happen at times when we stop pushing to try to get somewhere else, when we open our hearts and minds to the present moment, to that which is right in front of us…
Zen Moments are the moments of magic, when extraordinary awareness meets ordinary situations - moments of looking with fresh eyes…
Such moments can be beautiful, inspiring, transforming, haunting, and can linger with us long after they have passed.
We hope you will find beauty and inspiration in these pages: http://www.zenmoments.org/

HI
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

Welcome! And feel free to post some stories from zen moments here. Our "personal experience corner" could use some more contributions.

I hope that every time I post it will be accompanied by a wish for the wellbeing of everyone in this sangha and all beings.
