Five Points To Live Happily

I received a letter on Saturday from Dai Bosatsu Zendo, Kongoji. When I opened the letter, a card fell out. Picking it up, I saw that it had pointers written on it. I thought it might be nice to share it with you. It read...

FIVE POINTS TO LIVE HAPPILY

  1. Know that after all, LIFE IS SIMPLE. Do not complicate it.
  2. Be generous in your thoughts, deeds and things.
  3. Remember that things go according to your karma- whether you like it or not.
  4. Humbly obey the law of the Universe (TAO)
  5. Be positive under any circumstances.

I hope that you find Roshi's pointers useful. They can make a difference, it we allow for it.

Namaste'
