Escojan O Quotes & Sayings

Buddhist teaching tells us that we are all connected to an energy source in which all knowledge already exists. This universal energy is called Chi in China and Ki in Japan. It refers to a higher energy, a divine energy. Zen tells us that everything that exists in this universe comes from this source and will eventually return to this source. It tells us that we too are made of this energy. In addition, Zen teaches us that we are not only connected to this higher form of energy, we are also connected to all things in the world around us: people, animals, plants, even rocks. — Michelle Dujardin
