Eat When You Are Hungry




 Someone asked a Zen Master, "How do you practise Zen?" 

The master said, "When you are hungry, eat; when you are tired, sleep." 

"Isn't that what everyone does anyway?" 

The master replied, "No, No. Most people entertain a thousand desires when they eat and scheme over a thousand plans when they sleep."
