Daily Zenscape is coming back!



I've missed putting up zen quotes/sayings on this blog for the past year and I'm looking forward to getting back into it!
I have a new idea for a series for this blog that I've been wanting to try out. So until I run out of quotes all of entries are going to be the Sayings of Buddha.
I don't know how long this series will last but when I get through with it, then I'm going to start another series.
If you have any suggestions then feel free to leave a comment! I love hearing back from my readers!
