Zen & Buddhism

Learning from Nature

Nature as the supreme teacher, revealing universal truths through its patterns.

Watch the rivers - they don't try to flow, yet reach the ocean. See the trees - they don't cling to leaves in autumn. Nature teaches non-attachment, cycles, impermanence. The best meditation hall is a forest.

  Trees do not hold their leaves in autumn. Zen keeps pointing at that instead of building the argument out.
