Zen is a way of life rather than an ideology; a way of life that transcends dualistic everyday thinking to reach satori (enlightenment), a state of mind in which the oneness of all things is experienced. This is our original state of mind that becomes overlaid by the strategic egoic thinking that perceives the world in adversarial terms, of "us and them", a world of separate entities that compete for survival. Zen goes beyond the sense of self as a separate entity in the world to reach a non-dualistic perspective. One is no longer a drop in the ocean, but the whole ocean in a drop. This ...

Why sometimes do even the smallest events send us into a downward spiral? Whether we're aware of it or not, our feelings and outlook are constantly shaped by learned patterns, or habitual modes of being. These have the power to dictate our sense of wellbeing and our very perceptions of our lives and the world around us. These modes - distinct orchestrations of how we think and feel, how we act and interact - can open us up to delight and wisdom or preoccupy us with fear and despair, driving and distorting our experiences like invisible puppeteers of the mind.

Darkness is deeply misunderstood in today's world; yet it offers powerful medicine, serenity, strength, healing, and regeneration. All insight, vision, creativity, and revelation arise from darkness.

Welcoming darkness with curiosity, rather than fear or judgment, enables us to access our innate capacity for compassion and collective healing.

Un enregistrement très convaincant. Nous savons que nous devons être bons envers nous-mêmes si nous voulons être heureux. Mais est-ce que notre cœur le sait ? Nous sommes à la fois le juge impitoyable et l'enfant perdu et apeuré qui ne veut plus se sentir jugé. Nous avons créé un cercle vicieux auquel nous pouvons mettre fin uniquement en sortant de nous-mêmes pour observer comment nous en sommes arrivés là. Pour transformer les pensées qui nous hantent.

"Let your illness be your spiritual teacher!" Make a statement like that to someone who's struggled for years with, say, rheumatoid arthritis, and be prepared for an eye roll (at best).

Emily Herds an Ox is a contemporary novel that utilizes the framework of the "Ten Ox Herding Pictures" from Zen Buddhism. The Ten Ox-herding Pictures have concretely depicted the process in which the imperfect, limited, and relative self (the little child) awakens to the perfect, unlimited, and absolute essential self (the ox), grasps it, tames it, forgets it, and completely incorporates it into the personality.
