What if
When I sit
To meditate
It’s not that I am
Meditating
But rather
Everything is
Meditating me

Seems like
The same activity
But everything
Is flipped

#Zen

1/2

I've uploaded a pair of videos of an informal presentation I did last year for a small group, on the #art of #Zen teacher Hakuin. (49 min and 74 min.)

Though a longtime student of Buddhist practice, I'm not an art expert, and the first video is a little shaky when it's on me (recorded from a laptop). But the artwork is nice.

Good Book: The Zen Path Through Depression.

When I needed a lot of help, this book was a lot of help.

And here it is, your moment of zen.

I completed a 7 day intensive #Zen retreat today ("sesshin").

I'm not finished in my contemplative practice, but a couple wonderfully profound glimpses on this retreat remind me:

The #Buddhist terms "no self" and "emptiness" and "no mind" — those aren't beliefs. They're words which are expressive of an experience, one that's matter-of-factly before words.

.
_____

"no self" is from the Pali *anatta*

"emptiness" is from Sanskrit *śunyatā*

and "no mind" translates the Japanese *mushin* (無心)

And here it is, your moment of zen.

Veilchen, wenn ich diese Bergstraße entlanggehe, fühle ich mich irgendwie zu ihnen hingezogen.

Olen käyttänyt @zenbrowser selainta nyt muutaman viikon ajan ja täytyy todeta, että kokemus on ollut todella positiivinen!

Mukava käyttää selainta, joka keskittyy olemaan selain

Blogissa ajatuksia Zenistä: https://saaste.net/blogi/2025/uusi-suosikkiselain-zen/

If I could give my younger self some life advice it would be that some days will be better than others, don't sweat about what you can't influence and NEVER go down the audiophile rabbit hole.

the end game of #anarchism is #zen

Whelp, I just lost all my tabs in all my workspaces except for one in @zenbrowser. And looking through their issue tracker, it seem that similar things are pretty normal.

Just a heads up. I would maybe not use it too much, or recommend it to people, before these issues have been closed: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20lost%20tabs

Plant the seeds of what you want in your mind. Meditate to clear the weeds so your seeds can grow. Keep working until your fruits are ready to harvest! #zen #buddhism #dharma #zenmaster #mind https://youtube.com/shorts/Ey9E22BKDDQ
