Zazen is not meditation

Zazen is translated as Zen meditation. But the 2 practices are not quite the same:

  • Meditation focuses on the head. It's a mind exercise, struc­tured dualistically, with a sitting body as a container & a meditating mind as the contents: the body sits while the mind does something else.
  • Zazen focuses on a holistic body posture. Not a state of mind. Through correct sitting our mind learns to find its proper place & function within a unified mind-body field: “Just sit with correct posture’’

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
