What Is Zen

Calm, Contemplative and Serene, its all about Zen.

Away to escape the tensions of ordinary life for people who are always on the go.

Zen, the Sanskrit word for meditation, is a discipline. The purpose is to clear the mind of the chaos of everyday life in order to achieve a greater state of inner peace and harmony.

There really is no doctrine for Zen. Everything is based on the mind, is led by the mind and fashioned by the mind.

By practicing Zen you may notice you are gaining a more peaceful perspective on life.

"In its simplest form, Zen asks us to live in the moment, to be open to our surroundings, to clear the mind and achieve awareness".

"Zen is a simple , practical and highly personal mind-body-soul discipline."

"Its core is meditation, which provides a means of engaging on the great question of life and seeking enlightment."

 (The raking of zen gardens, the aroma of reed diffusers or incence, the gentle sound of wind chimes, the feel of stones or pebbles, looking at statues, appreciating pictures or flowers, may help in this process).

"To practice zen is to discover one's true nature."

"The more you know, the less you understand."
