My Zen Life - gatha on impermanence

My Zen Life blog quotes this from the ‘plumb village chanting and recitation book’:

"the day is now ended.
our lives are shorter.
now we look carefully.
what have we done?

noble sangha, with all of our heart,
let us be diligent,
engaging in the practice.
let us live deeply,
free from our afflictions,
aware of impermanence
so that life does not
drift away without meaning."

Renegade Zen - Zen Stories

A well designed website by, of course, a web designer. He has a page of Zen stories worth visiting:

"While Zen Stories often seem surreal and absurd at first glance, give them more thought and you'll find meaning relevant to much of your everyday life, even if you don't find enlightenment straight away."
