The Way of Zen

Being Zen about something means just being as it is. Seeing clearly, hearing clearly, smelling clearly, tasting clearly, touching clearly – that’s Zen. So everything as it is, is truth. But when we add thinking, we don’t see truth as it is. We see something that we like, or we don’t like; we want or don’t want, we accept or don’t accept. That’s not Zen. - Venerable Hyon Gak

The Way of Zen

Do one thing at a time.
Do thing slowly and mindfully.
Connect deeply with people and nature.
Meditate frequently.
Appreciated silence.
Expect nothing.
Be grateful for everything.
Observe without judement.
Consume less, create more.
Let go of fears and desires.
Listen to understand, not to respond.
Be patient and generous.
Love deeply.
Live simply.

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
