When ur cold wear a coat when ur hot get in the shaded area when it raining use umbrella

I have gotten better at saying to myself, Relax and just take this moment in. Appreciate it for what it is.

Thank you for your talk, it has reached me.

wonderfully pragmatic talk.

Thank you very much this was very powerful and I loved your video.

Zen grew from the experience of Shakyamuni Buddha, who realised awakening in the posture of dhyana ( zazen, Zen meditation) in India in the 5th century BCE. This experience has since been transmitted uninterrupted, from master to disciple, creating the zen lineage.

Thank you. This will help me on my path.

Great job. Thanks

PAZ & AMOR ❤️

Beautiful voice for beautiful words. Thabk you.

Thanks bro

Great place for Zen training in the States is with Shoryu Bradley at Gyobutsuji Zen Monastery :)

Hi Megat, These experiences do happen from time to time. I'm glad you have experienced clarity from it too. Just to say that the best thing, IMO, is to just keep to the meditation practice and let these things come and go. As you go on the meditation strength will deepen. Good luck!

Zen has travelled from India to China. Zen is what we in India call Dhyan

Yes, The Chinese name of the school 'Chan' and Japanese 'Zen' both mean meditation and are translations of the Sanskrit 'dhyana'.

I like Alan Watts

This is excellent. Thank you so much for this. Are you a Buddhist teacher/priest...? What lineage/school do you practice in? I googled The Zen Gateway, but the website appears to be down. What's the status of this organisation/group?

Yes, I am connected with a temple in London. We are in the Rinzai Zen lineage. Our founding teacher was called Myokyo-ni. She has a page on wikipedia.

The talk ends abruptly without a proper conclusion. Is there another video with the end of this talk? The talk is informative and interesting so I am keen to learn how the speaker concludes his talk.

MsLoriat There is a part two to this talk. If you go to thezengateway.com and follow the link for this talk and you will find the second talk. I might put it up again as a podcast.

Is it possible to listen to music while whole heartedly doing an activity? Or does this only split consciousness

How can you wholeheartedly do something when you are listening to music? Surely then you would be half-heartedly doing two things?

Our consciousness is so used to being distracted it is difficult not to get split consciousness when listening to music and, say, doing the ironing. Try it out for yourself. However, it is not the case that listening to music inevitably causes such a split.

I've tried understanding Zen before. It always seems the teacher is pointing to an answer or enlightment that is right around the corner...but we never get there.Maybe too western in my conditioning. I understand Camus absurdist philosophy more than this melt into the universe view.

Hi Allen Yes, I can appreciate that feeling of something just out of reach about Zen. I think it can be off putting for many to have this aspect of Zen pushed too much. Personally I think keeping the focus on the Buddhist message in Zen that it is a practical way that helps us become resilient in the face of our many problems and the importance of being of service to all in our orbit speak more to people.

Forgive me. But you are highly mistaken of the origins of Zen Philosophy. There were no Buddhists in Ancient China, where Kung Fu Tze introduced this stolen philosophy. The origins of this philosophy predate these eras. And were the common philosophy of our Ancient Ancestors. Before "religions". Before Confucius obfuscations, and deceits. Before he divided everyone in language. 10,000-15,000 years ago. Our Ancestors lived in Harmony. History, Mythology, and Theology in comparative studies using quadratic logic will enlighten you. Inner Strength, Shadow, Self. TiWodasI. And the dualities of dualities. Will unlock your universal consciousness.

Buddhism sees the mind as a sense organ like the ear or eye. It perceives mental objects. Knowledge is made up of mental objects and those objects have to be created before they can be perceived.

This is taking one aspect and over exaggerating it, in a simplistic, illogical and annilistic way.

That's a fair comment. If we read the Zen stories around 'awakening', then it does sound like a one-off event. but, for example Master Hakuin recorded 'countless' little awakenings and several major ones too. So size isn't everything! Many people experience a more gradual unfolding of Wisdom.
