for a connection between Zen and Spirituality, I came across this wonderful video. You will find it here - http://goodlifezen.com/peace-of-mind/
It's called Touching Quietude. I'm setting down the quotes from Tao Te Ching that are in the video:
Life is a series of natural, spontaneous changes. Don't resist them. That only creates sorrow.
Let reality be reality.
A violent wind does not last for a whole morning.
A sudden rain does not last for the whole day.
If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.
Silence is a source of great strength.
Stop thinking and end your problems.
If you're depressed, you're living in the past.
If you're anxious, you're living in the future.
If you're at peace, you're living in the present.
Stop leaving and you will arrive.
Stop searching and you will see.
Stop running away and you will be found.
Nature does not hurry and yet everything is accomplished.
To a mind that is still the whole Universe surrenders.
All of us are in a state where at least one quote, if not more, hits home...
