Teachings of the Four-Pawed Sage

On Presence

“Sniff every corner as if it is the first and last corner you shall ever sniff. This is true mindfulness.”

On Love

“Greet each being as though they have returned from war, even if they only went to take out the trash.”

On Stillness

“When the sunbeam falls upon the floor, lie within it. For this is savasana perfected.”

On Detachment

“If it is yours, chew it. If it is not yours, also chew it. Nothing truly belongs to anyone.”

On Enlightenment

“Raise your paw when the bowl sings. For this is the moment of awakening, and everyone should know you are wise.”

On Joy

“Run in circles, tongue flopping, without reason. For reason is the chain, and joy is the leash undone.”
