Folks!!I've been reading a lot of Zen books these days and came across some basic zen commandments which we can keep them as a companion and enjoy living with them.

- Do not lean on others. Do not lean on anything
- Keep your back straight all the time. Your spine connects heaven and earth. Honour it.
- Loneliness is an unwillingness to communicate freely with all of creation. Remedy this
- Do not puff yourself up and put others down. We are all treading on the same path.
- This particular breath will not come again. Pay attention to it.
- We cannot stop the noise, but we can stop ourselves.We can accept the noise.
- What you are at this moment contains the whole message of what you were.
- You can never see anything worse than yourself.
- Place after place is the right place.
- Don't put a head on your own head. What's wrong with your own?
- Going somewhere doesn't take you anywhere else.
- Doing nothing is more than enough. Flowers grow on their own.
