Let's laugh !
Spontaneous laughter gives us a break in the constant and exhausting effort of building and maintaining our character, it makes it easier for control and preoccupation to cease, it allows us to enjoy now.
Laugh is plenitude, an infinite spark of joy.

Laughter
and Consciousness
Traditional Zen tale
Buddha was going to give a special talk, and thousands of followers had come from many kilometers around. When Buddha appeared, he had a flower in his hand.
Time passed and the master Buddha said nothing, he was sitting and simply looking at the flower. The crowd grew impatient but Mahakashyap, who could not hold it any longer, began to laugh.
The Buddha motioned for him to come, handed him the flower, and said to the crowd, "I have given you everything that can be given in words. But with this flower, I give Mahakashyap the key to teaching.
"It is only when we take life too seriously
that we suffer."
