Tara & Frank Explore Zen Episode 3: Bye Bye Ants

When ants appear in our kitchen, our first instinct is often to remove them. But Zen invites us to pause and ask: Why have they arrived? The ant is merely a symptom; the crumb left behind is the cause. If we remove the sustenance, the visitor departs naturally. This principle mirrors the challenges we face in life. Rather than exhausting ourselves fighting surface-level symptoms, we must look inward to identify the root cause. When the source is resolved, the struggle dissolves. Join Frank, Tara, and Panda on a journey of Zen realization.

✨ Wisdom from our 93-year-old Shifu, Wu Chueh Miao-Tien (悟覺妙天), the 85th-generation Zen Grandmaster ✨

The heart and brain are deeply connected. When the heart is clear and joyful, the brain responds with joy as well.

May we remember to keep our hearts calm and joyful. 🪷
