No matter how wonderful an experience we are having is,  usually we want more and more. It's never enough. In fact, the better something is, the emptier we feel when it is over and the deeper the desire for more. This itself is the cause of so much craving craving, loneliness and suffering. It is a great art to be able to say, Thank you, This Suffices. This is more than enough."
How can we arrive at that state of mind? What is needed in order to feel full and complete, even grateful for what we've received? The entire practice of zen is the path towards this condition. Each step taking fully, one hundred per cent, is the direction. In fact, there is no destination or outcome we are after. The moment itself is full in itself. It suffices. When we stop taking each moment as just a step on the way, and instead, enter it fully, incredible happiness and satisfaction arises, for no reason at all.
