Zazen Meditation (Online or In-Person)
Note: Please do not attend in-person if you feel any type of physical symptoms – including allergies).
What is Zen Meditation? “Zen is neither Taoist nor Buddhist. It is both and neither. Hence the traditional Buddhists reject Zen and the traditional Taoists also reject Zen. For the traditional Buddhist it is absurd, for the traditional Taoist it is too philosophical, but to those who are really interested in meditation, Zen is an experience. It is neither absurd nor philosophical because both are terms of the mind. It is something transcendental.”
Osho
Why do we offer this meditation? ““Zen says: Buddhahood is not somewhere far away. You are just sitting on top of it. You are it! So there is no need to go anywhere; you just have to become a little alert about who you are. It has already happened! Nothing has to be achieved, nothing has to be practiced! Only one thing: you have to become a little more alert about who you are. Zen teaches not by words, not by scriptures, not by theories, but by direct pointing, by engaging us in a game in which the only answer is a new level of consciousness.” Osho
How we do it: We will give guidelines on how to sit in ZaZen and to do Zen Style Walking (Kinhin). This hour and 1/2 includes time for instructions, the meditation period which includes 20 minutes sitting in ZaZen, 10 minutes Kinhin (Zen Walking) and 20 more minutes sitting in Zazen Afterwards there is time for sharing. In these sessions, It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or season meditator. When we practice a meditation technique, no matter which one we are doing, what happens is always fresh, new, unknown and unpredictable.
Here is the Mystic Osho on ZEN.
