What better way to celebrate World Cow Day on September 1<\/strong> than by taking a moment to slow down, breathe deeply, and contemplate the wisdom of our four-legged friends?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is the sound of one hoof clapping?\u201d<\/p>\n

These ancient koans are not meant to be answered, but graze gently in the mind, stimulating a state of sunyata. This aspect of Zen is abundant in the idyllic fields of clover and alfalfa; places where the most centered and clear-minded dwell. They chew the cud with pure and unadulterated serenity, lost in contemplation and free from dukkha (suffering).<\/p>\n

This World Cow Day, come stand with them \u2014 or even sit cross-legged \u2014 as disciples of the true masters of zazen: Zen Cows<\/strong>. Sometimes, the best way to celebrate is simply to slow down and embrace a little more peace, one peaceful moo at a time.<\/p>\n

And if your celebration of cows could use a little more chaos, take out your wrenches and get ready to slather on a healthy dose of elbow grease, because these maniacs are crankin' up the madness!<\/p>\n

Animal Crankers<\/strong> are a bundle of ludicrous, laughable, lethargic, luxuriant, luminous characters leaping out from your calendar to light up your lackluster and lamentable life in limbo! Join them and get ready to keel over with glee as their hijinks hijack even the most slovenly spirit and turn the dial up to full-power positivity!<\/p>\n

Whether you're seeking the serene wisdom of Zen Cows<\/strong> or the wonderfully absurd antics of Animal Crankers<\/strong>, celebrate World Cow Day with a little more moo, a little more laughter, and a lot less dukkha.<\/p>\n
