The Ultimate Question:

by Crystal Belle on May 8, 2012

“When Hoitsu Suzuki-roshi went out for a smoke one day, Sojun Weitsman’s little boy asked him, “Roshi, what are you doing?” This is the ultimate Zen question you have to ask yourselves, “What are you doing? What’s going on?” If you do this, you will begin to not accept habit or impulse as your way of life.”

-Jakusho Kwong Roshi

What are you doing? How about now?

This is a profound question.

I find it goes perfectly with, “What do I really want to do right now?”

When I ask these two questions, my life changes. I move into a place of power. I’m no longer floating through life mindlessly, I’m actively creating my day. My moment. My entire life.

 

I’ve put them both in a printable PDF for you. Put these somewhere you’ll see them often (I have them on my desktop) and enjoy your new, fun life!

Love,

Belle

Thank you for your beautiful post Belle. I printed off your powerful questions as suggested :) Great idea! And thank you for putting so much love into the appearance of your PDF! The questions are grande to begin with…and then mix in your creative genius…and it all becomes a gentle and flowing piece of colorful art that begs to be devoured by my soul! Grateful for you!
