Here is a good answer:
“Ask no more.
Only listen to the voice of pines and cedars when no wind stirs.”
This is a half of Ryonen’s poem. Ryonen, the Japanese Buddhist nun, was born in 1797 (read more in Ryonen’s Clear Realization). Continue reading How to reach calmness?

you saw everything the same way,
while being still at all times.
Amen.

Let’s go, Jesus.
Get around the city.
Amen.
