Zen Elephant of Joy

Here, Edward Monkton gets his ‘Zen’ right,
though he doesn’t use the word ‘Zen.
But Zen is Zen whether you call it so or not!

Zen is indeed about living truly and happily in the moment,
from moment to moment,
with a sense of joy and wonder,
taking nothing for granted,
even when it comes to the littlest ‘mundane’ things like doing the dishes.

It is impossible, however,
to do evil while being true and happy,
because it is against our Buddha-nature.
Yes, Zen is always slanted towards goodness and purity.
