With stress levels at an all-time EOFY high, we're in the Zen zone for this month's Life's Too Serious.

1. A Zen student went to a temple and asked how long it would take him to gain enlightenment if he joined the temple. 

"Ten years," said the Zen master. 

"Well, how about if I really work hard and double my effort?"

"Twenty years."

2. Seeing his master on the other side of a raging torrent, a student waved his arms and shouted out, "Master, master, how do I get to the other side?"

The master smiled and said, "You are on the other side."

3. One Zen student said, "My teacher is the best. He can go days without eating."

The second said, "My teacher has so much self-control, he can go days without sleep."

The third said, "My teacher is so wise that he eats when he's hungry and sleeps when he's tired."
