Thank you for everything, I have no complaint whatsoever!

i love reading 

Lao Tzu's wisdom

in the 

Tao Te Ching

and

i love reading

the 'notes' by Stephen Mitchell

at the back of the book

i happened across 

this note for Chapter 51

recently

now to honour the copyright

i won't reproduce what i read

if you have the pocket edition copy

look at page 116

if not

you can search the internet

(i just did!)

and find this jewel of wisdom

from a Zen Master named Sono

she offered this spiritual practice

for enlightenment

"Thank you for everything, I have no complaint whatsoever."

wow.

here's the invitation

practice this morning and night and during the day

for the next year

give this to everything that shows up

everything

and see what happens

this simple

and fun!
