The Easiest Path to Enlightenment

[@thehiddenlibrary33]

"Zen confers nothing; it offers no doctrine, no system of faith or belief. It merely points to what is already here, what already is." - Alan Watts, The Way of Zen (amzn.to/3ZCFZ6p)

[@drcunda1]

The whole essence of Zen consists in walking along the razor's edge of Now - to be so utterly, so completely present that no problem, no suffering, nothing that is not who you are in your essence, can survive in you. In the Now, in the absence of time, all your problems dissolve. Suffering needs time; it cannot survive in the Now. 🕊 Eckhart Tolle Eckhart Tolle

[@krishnarajthankayyan3105]

Great. Very simple explanation. Easily understandable. Any one can start practice from this simple audio. Thank you for your job. Pranamam.

[@ParadoxesOfLife88]

05:38The explanation about time and the present moment was profound. 'We pass through time'-such a simple yet transformative insight. This part really stood out!

[@pravinasings8254]

Time is a concept. There is only now.

Simple and to the point. Nothing extra added or needed. Complete history and practices of Zen in a nutshell. Wonderful!!!

[@krishnaraman2990]

Feels wonderfully calming sublime and simple Yet made complex by preexisting concepts and restlessness Gives all an opportunity to invite and coexist with the moment Very beautiful and hopeful of the simple realization without labels judgement and interpretation Thank you for sharing this precious truth

[@johnburbank9125]

Excellent talk…. I learned to practice meditation from a Zen teacher in 2005…..the practice is the Way (:

[@oldtimeoutlaw]

Thank you for this wonderful and informative vid. I am starting my Zen journey now. Thank you for your time and effort producing this vid. Looking forward to many more. Thank you again. Peace

[@karunakbk]

It's a very nice and detailed information on understanding Zen. Before I start my Zazen, I like to mention, this video has the best visuals, best narration and best message. This is truly the result of practising the way. Thank you teacher. Namo Amithabha 🙏.

[@Hailtothe303]

This is good timing for me. Thank you for this video!

Meditation helps me to keep going and constantly learn and relearn new and old things

[@supersonic2511978]

This is a very beautiful description of Zen. One of the easiest ways to dive into Zen and Tao are imo the teachings of Alan Watts, for he presents them in a joyful way

[@guillaumemaurice3503]

Thank you for the video it was a powerful lesson.😊💕

[@ValentinBrutusBura]

Heraclitus knew about Impermanence. What is remarkable is that Zen meditation brings forth and amplifies the hard work and toil you did put in in all aspects of your life and profession.

[@Mahle-f2b]

Thank you very much for sharing this information with us.

[@zorantanevski2279]

For me, ZEN is the highest achievement of human wisdom. Zen is one with existence, it recognizes only existence without human inventions such as gods, devils, demons, religions, churches, priests, rituals ... it recognizes only experience but not philosophizing, everyone needs to go through and experience their own path, and recognizing the present moment is nothing but the non-recognition of time, because if time exists, there will be no existence, it will end in time, existence can only exist in eternity.

[@Shmishaan]

Wow. Beautifully said

[@ericbeeman8717]

Zen for mw is when i work with my tarantulas or am handeling them at that moment in time its just us the spider and me the experience is next level unlike anything else in the world cause ya have to keep ur mind clear and be calm it helps me relax like nothing else

[@deller5924]

Wow, how interesting! Do you put them on top of your palm?

[@ericbeeman8717]

@deller5924 I just let em walk around on my hands n arms like last night trying ta breed these one 2 poecilotheria rufilata she's one my biggest ones at 9in+ so intimidating she makes ma hands shake but that experience alone for the 5mins I held her was just amazing like nothing else in world and ya gotta keep ur focus on em or they can bite or take off on ya and never did I believe the words this spider is heavy would come from my mouth but they did and she is I keep all my spider pics on Instagram don't have many on fakebook these days to many undesirables there insta is a much kinder place with much cooler folks

[@whygodisscience]

Erm, are you saying you meditate with tarantulas? lol

[@nicholaskearney678]

Beautiful arrival…

[@ericbeeman8717]

@nicholaskearney678 idk if u raise tarantulas but it's one the most calming things for me cause they have pharamo receptors in their feet so if ur nervous or scared or anything they act accordingly but if ur calm and collected u get the best results they stay out n let ya tong feed em or u can handle em and u get that one off experience

[@LuisPedroCalmetOtero]

[@seddik6522]

Amazing video !! quality information always! I have a question, how does one arrive at a state of No Mind, what exactly should be done? Thank you 🙏🙏

[@pravinasings8254]

As I sit, I experience consciousness between the thoughts (no thought), consciousness lighting up the thought (consciousness plus appearance of thought form). While thoughts come to go, consciousness is. I am.

[@raguiyer5247]

We pass through time ❤

[@ValentinBrutusBura]

I had a discussion with Shinko Roshi. I emphasized the final result which is the line that goes through your head uniting both ears and the vision chakra. He emphasized the Chi. We were talking about different things, I think.

[@nguyendl4477]

Excellent sharing on Zen essentials ❤ Shikantaza, just sitting, erect posture, observing thoughts, feelings, breathing without judgment or distraction 🧘‍♂️

[@pravinasings8254]

Now transfer your zazen state of consciousness into daily life activities and yourlife becomes the meditation! Happy life !

[@nasserlotfi1670]

Thanks, l truly enjoyed the video, something i believe but not practiced.

[@dzendzen6027]

"The essence of Zen can be expressed in just two words: everything is impermanent" ... "Those who have Zen do not see a single thing"... "Do not be distracted by other people's values ​​and do not give in to empty worries. Live a simple life, free from everything superfluous. This is the Zen style"... (ссс)...

Those are "the ones who have come before." It is remarkable how these relics differ from continent to continent. Yet one reaches a stage when they can read everything, so then it doesn't matter anymore where one originates from.

Practical Buddhism has to do with working with your mind to tame body phenomena, such as suffering for example. Theoretical Buddhism has to do with memorizing taxonomies and is brought forward to help the Practical aspects.

[@nameless-yd6ko]

The Easiest Path to Enlightenment ~~~ Hahaha! Easiest for those naturally thoughtless, perhaps. "Zen is anything done thoughtlessly!" - Bodhidharma I agree that entering a thoughtless state is a relatively 'easy' way to 'taste' Enlightenment. The problem is the as thought returns, Zen leaves. The thoughtless state cannot be held all the time. Enough to give us a taste, perhaps. It seems that there is a more permanent path to Salvation/Enlightenment/Mystic; Anyone can be 'Saved/Enlightened'!; "Born again" into the state of Unconditional Love = Salvation = Enlightenment = Heaven = Immortality This is how YOU Know you are Saved/Enlightened/Mystic! Unconditional Love is ALWAYS Known by It's Unconditional Virtues; Compassion, Empathy, Sympathy, Gratitude, Humility, Charity (Charity is never taking more than your share of anything, ever!), Honesty, Happiness, Faith... ALWAYS! The display of these Virtues is how others know that you are Saved/Enlightened! "What a man loves, he is. If he loves a stone he is that stone, if he loves a person he is that person, if he loves God - nay, I durst not say more; were I to say, he is God, he might stone me. I do but teach you the scriptures." - Meister Eckhart “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi

[@erukaarivu6404]

You have given entire zen in a capsule

[@ValentinBrutusBura]

Well, "now" is the only thing that is true, right? Am I safe now? As it happens, yes. Am I happy now? Very much. What if I wasn't safe now?? I could say the Archangel Prayer, or I could focus on my breathing, and that precarious moment would eventually flee from me. My current situation isn't my final destination.

You have to meditate in a darkroom, listening to music helps to distract you from thinking (using mind) Bible, god, "I make darkness my secret place, I will give you treasures of darkness, the day of the lord is dark, indeed very dark with no brightness in it, make sure you hold your tongue at the roof the mouth. That's the missing part of raising the kundalini (enlightenment, satori)

It's not done with waking up to what's going on around you. It also doesn't help to know lots of tricks to be able to survive, or elevate within our society, since you are not able to use them if you want to proceed on your path to enlightenment. You need to remain soft, but still be well spoken so people stop attacking you for your kindness you give to them. They think your kindness is a trap, since they are not use to people with pure intentions. (Or they mistake you for a fool.) And yourself?: if you grew up in a humble environment, i can imagine it's easier to proceed on the path. As someone having lived a flashy lifestyle, it takes time. Also the attachments to the materialistic world need to be undone. Not sure yet, if you need to get rid of everything entirely. (i hope not) One thing is clear, there is no way of return, you start losing, Friends,Family, the need to "achieve" , you really need to embrace the art of letting go. Don't worry when you starting off, it gets better with time. You start enjoying moments of solitude and you will cherish beautiful connections more dearly. So much, that it will become the Highlights of your Day, Week or Year. Also you gotta stay compassionate, first with yourself and also with others. Once you outgrew them they won't understand you anymore, it's like you have become an Alien, hence some attacks. You gotta remain composed and don't give by into aversion, pride, jealousy, and envy. You are beautiful and you gotta recognise that! You got this

Enlightenment is just transcending your ego. And the only way you could transcend your ego. Is through psychedelics or watching the ego relentlessly.

Zen is love true love no fanatical belief system dogmas tradition superstition id ealogy .zen made masses of nirvhana

[@MusashiTetsukobu]

Nowadays, the Zen sect founded by Dogen has degenerated visibly. It concentrates on details of "correct" meditation posture, breathing, etc. Doguen was enlightened, but he became an authoritarian perfectionist, and his teachings in the Shobogenzo reflect his character's tendency. The obsession with details that are his legacy is ridiculous. The Soto Zen school is called the Zen for the farmers. If you practice Zen as taught, you'll be lucky if enlightenment finds you.

[@vanman3752]

To be in the 'Now' you must die of self. You learn to let go and let go and let go until you no longer exists and you become everything else. I think there for I am. The thought process is what separates us from the Present, the Here and Now Reality. Behold the Kingdom of God is Within You and The Kingdom of God is at Hand simply means Salvation or Eternal Life or Enlightenment is without Space or Time. Was Jesus the Christ God made Man or Man made God?
