Zen with yourself and your surroundings...

Well, I was watching this movie The Last Samurai for like the umpteenth time on cable and I got inspired by the Way of the Bushido or also known as the Samurai... Bushi stands for Samurai, hence the name Bushido.. It is amazing how these people have potrait the true essence of the undying indomitable human spirit itself... The ability to conquer any opponent or complete any task just by focussing your mind alone is an art which requires much practice.. The way of the samurai incorporates a lot of Zen. You use Zen meditation to sharpen your mind and conquer your heart. Whatever the mind conceives the body realizes and these is the ancient secret of Zen. And so I just looked up some websites and I discovered these Holy Grails of zen meditation...www.mro.org/zmm/meditation/ & www.do-not-zzz.com/. Just look at these photo and tell me what you see??

I see the indomitable human spirit coupled with the virtues and values that should be present in every individual today.. Only because the road to success can only be achieved if you have the spirit to endure all the painful lessons in life. And maybe, this subtle, beautiful and honorary men can teach us something.. or not. It's all up to you...
