Lin Chi was a Zen master. One day he was talking among his disciples when a man suddenly interrupted him: Enough of words, said the man, do you have any miracles to perform? I also had a master; he is no longer alive, but he certainly was a man of religion. He used to stand on one bank half a mile away holding a piece of paper. And he would use that pen to write on the paper I was holding. Now you, if you can, show me a miracle as wondrous as this. Lin Chi said, Among us you will find no such miracles. We know only one miracle, and that is that we are content. Yes, this is our single miracle - contentment! The only miracle we can offer is that whoever joins us also becomes contented.
