Zen

How does one incorporate the teachings of Zen in daily life?
When walking, just walk; when eating, just eat; when showering, just shower. We do those things but we’re following our thinking the whole time. We’re eating, but we’re not really tasting the food. We’re not fully living in the moment. Living in the moment – that’s Zen. - Unknown

Zen is not some kind of excitement, but concentration on our usual everyday routine. - Shunryu Suzuki-roshi

Zen is very easy! It's like touching your nose when you wash your face in the morning! - Seung Sahn

Zen just means understanding my true nature. Zen means meditation, and meditation means finding my true self – finding my true nature. - Venerable Hyon Gak

Zen means to return to this moment. Hear the bird, hear the rain, feel the air-conditioning sitting here. That’s Zen. From that point I can function clearly, openly. - Venerable Hyon Gak
