It is the Buddhist belief that at every moment the universe is not only dying but being reborn.

Never settle for that which is easy and comfortable or the necessity of seeking that which is difficult and uncomfortable.

If you have the sense of participation in sports or athletics, of being a player, then you are not really into the Zen mind. In Zen mind there is no sense of self in the play.
