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."

Many good stories here:

"It Will Pass

A student went to his meditation teacher and said, 'My meditation is horrible! I feel so distracted, or my legs ache, or I'm constantly falling asleep. It's just horrible!' 'It will pass,' the teacher said matter-of-factly.

A week later, the student came back to his teacher. 'My meditation is wonderful! I feel so aware, so peaceful, so alive! It's just wonderful!'

'It will pass,'
the teacher replied matter-of-factly."
