WHERE ARE YOU?
zhlédnutí 245Před 4 lety
The reason I made this episode is to make you question and to make you doubt something very obvious - Your place in the Universe. So instead of getting hooked to the interesting facts discussed, try to get hooked to the "wonder". This profound wonder is where science meets spirituality.

    Great vid. Definitely one of the best introductions to zazen. Explained clearly with a good narration. And I like the analogy of the mind being like a monkey on steroids. That is perfect. People seem to think a goal of meditation is to still the mind, whereas anyone who has meditated knows you cannot still the mind, but rarher, you give it space to still by itself. I like the analogy of trying to clear a muddy glass of water. No action we take will clear the water, only by leaving it alone do we allow the water ito settle itself. Anyway, I'm rambling now, sorry. Just wanted to say.great video, keep up the quality content. Cheers, Gassho, Namaste, Om Shanti , blessings and have a great day.

    Thank you for explaining so clearly what Zazen is. I’ve been practicing meditation for nearly a year and I’ve gone all the way from metta to doing nothing. It’s helped me a lot in my daily life and I hope to get deeper into it progressively. It’s hard sometimes when you need to let things go, but I’m finally overcoming aversion to some thoughts. The key is to accept them without doing nothing. Thanks so much again, master!❤
