Cultural approach to Zen

Description     More info

"The joy that flows from the void." Learn about the fundamentals of Zen that make it a unique religion.

One of Zen´s foundations, which makes it an unique religion, is that it does not exclude anything from your life

Everything has to be included in your life since it is not a path of giving up

Zen says there is no one who is a sinner or a saint, things are not good and things are not bad, all these distinctions are created by the ego

When you look clearly inside all distinctions disappear, in that nothingness one merges with the infinite, one becomes God

All Zen anecdotes and dialogues say the same thing over and over again in beautiful ways, they start from different points of view, different attitudes hoping that if yesterday you did not see, today you might

Sometimes those dialogues, produced by Zen methods, can induce enlightenment, this is why those years of preparation in silence, meditating

The Zen disciple meditates on the emptiness of existence all the time, in the scent of nothing, until one day he/she understands that everything that appears, will disappear but everything that really exists cannot cease to exist

So unless something is eternal it can't be real
