Today we will change the tempo just a tad and start telling you calming Zen tales. Tales that are among the oldest in human history and have withstood the test of time. These are ancient stories offering profound insights into human nature, the cosmos, and spirituality. These tales capture all sorts of truths about life and death. But they are also witty, entertaining, humorous, and at times puzzling, even mind-bending… and yes they can be calming as well.
