Prayer 613

The prayer series

Jesus,

In 101 Zen Stories,
I like Ryonen and Tosui’s stories.

I like Ryonen.
I wish I can do as Ryonen did.
“Ryonen obtained a hot iron and placed it against her face.
In a few moments her beauty had vanished forever.”*

I like Tosui.
If I write so well that I have many adherents,
I think I’ll do as Tosui did,
I’ll quit the lecture business entirely
and no one can find any trace of me.**

You are always with me?

I love you, Jesus.

Amen.

PTH

How to take care of people at the best?

We all will have less stress.
We all will be healthier, happier and more peaceful.

So great.

I love you, Jesus.
