- A commonly asked question, by both non-practitioners and practitioners alike! In this short talk, Daizan Roshi explains simply and lucidly what Zen is. When you come to practice Zen you can find a source of happiness that nobody can give you and nobody can take away, independent of your situation or conditions.
Over many years of strict training, in Japan and the west, Julian Daizan Skinner Roshi received Dharma Transmission and permission to teach in both the Rinzai and Soto lineages of Zen. He now teaches at the Yugagyo Dojo in London, UK. For more information see www.zenways.org

Zen is holding frame. Staying connected to the moment. Staying grounding.
Staying silent
Zen unlike various other forms of Buddhism puts most of it's emphasis on the meditative mindset then it does on either guide lines, rules or creeds and I think that in alot of ways Zen transcends both Buddhism as well as culture and I believe that you can achieve the Zen state no matter what culture which you are a part of even if that culture is not buddhist or even if your not a buddhist yourself.
Brilliant explanation of Zen intelligently articulated! Thanks!
I remember Eckhart Tolle speaking about a Zen master that said "enter Zen from here" ... that got me thinking about Zen as a kind of 'space' to be in. Then I started thinking about the Dao, that kind of 'flow' to be immersed in. I'm just now starting to look for that space, that flow, one thing I've noticed is that as I do my daily chores and are perhaps in that 'flow space' then I don't have accidents or mistakes. Haha I guess I would say 'exit Zen from here' as I hit my head on an open casement window. :) _/\_
Haha, thank you Dawn
Dude ... your welcome too. I meditate for more than an hour sometimes. This is totally legit man.
What i like about zen is that it doesnt bullshit around or build complicated mythology imagery to distract the mind. It wants you to focus on whats actual enlightenment in a bottle, shikantaza. There is no less and no more to it. Whats zen good for? Nothing. Its so devilishly simple and hidden in plain sight... A work of art
Now I understand when Kevin Flynn says to Sam Flynn, “You’re messing with my zen thing man.”
Very nourishing talks..I’ve been listening to Thich Nhat Han for 33 years and it’s nice to find genuine teachers like this man too..thankyou
You're very welcome.
This is called serenity peace of mind.
Don’t misinterpret what I’m saying but last year, I moved from a big city to the a property of nothing but old forest. Well I slowly carved out enough space for a modest home and a few animals. Last year I put in a fairy garden, a large one, and this is no lie…as I would work out there on the smallest of detail (moving moss patches, gathering small stones or bits of bark, creating fairy yards…I would forget time. Hours would pass like mere minutes. I would lost myself and immerse myself in the bird sounds, my chimes, the wind and what my hands were touching. I felt like I had entered some other world but was grounded in this one. I learned how to sort of relax in a way I never have before and when I’d had enough, I could walk away and feel so entirely at ease. I called it “zen”. It sure feels like being zen. ❤
"What is Zen?" "No."
Love the way you so wonderfully explained this. Thank you. Touches me deeply x
You are so welcome
As someone who found zen in my youth and has now found a sort of peace that fills me with movement and compulsion, this calmness is interesting. It strikes me as acceptable, and practically rhetorical, but not necessary.
It's the first time I heard a fair to good explanation of the word Zen, which has assisted in my understanding of Zen.. I say thank you.
You're very welcome, Carlos.
@@Zenways_zen which is the best path for beginners Zen Buddhism or Tendai Buddhism?
Thank you, Daizan.
You're very welcome, Felipe
Thank you for the explanation
You are welcome, Nicholas.
Thank you. I felt it.
You are so welcome
Excellent explanation
Thank you.
Fascinating
The famed Zen 6th Patriarch Hui Neng whose sermons are recognized by Buddhist scholars or masters as Sutras!
He once said to his disciples : "Zen is not & doesn't depend on meditation practices."
In nutshell, he doesn't emphasize on meditation to "attain" Zen!
~there is a big void out there which is always here~it places all that is inside that void~then changes it again and again~movable that we all are but stationary is the observer which is the void itself~when you get a deeper look inside this void as the observer~you are the one moving and what is seen is stationary~
Finely articulated
Thank you.
Tremendous words
Thank you
You're very welcome.
If one talks about Zen, Zen is not what one is talking about. Philip Kapleau roshi

so to transcend duality is to be here and now? be present?
As I understand it, there is only one thing: that one thing is now, you, the present. You are the infinite universe observing itself.
What if 'here and now' is completely dualistic?
I have a very hard time truly meditating clearing my mind what should I do to do this correctly ?
For your security I would not suggest you looking for Zen, a big connectivity, at this point. Your profile pic is a skull and you have lots of videos looking for spirits at night. These might not be toys.
Cheerish gratitude, love, life... create them everywhere and those will naturally come to you and the things you are not ready to deal with will leave. Then you will understand.
My best faith that you will take good care of yourself and look for the Sacred to guide and protect you. Please take care and ask for help if you need, the Sacred Angels are very strong.
Peace
Edit: As you can see we all have a lot to learn. The asnwer below seem to be much more in the zen concept.
Peace
Hi Rose. Meditation is not about clearing your mind. Having a blank mind is not the aim - it may happen spontaneously from time to time. What we try to do is become aware of everything that we feel and experience without wanting or wishing it to be different. Why not try one of our guided meditation practices available here zenways.org/learn-basic-sitting-in-zazen/
@@88SJoe88 I want to thank you I've been doing Paranormal Investigation's for a very long time because of what I had Experienced when I was young it was something you would have had to experience to understand what and why I do what I do but I also have abilities that I have learned to use in special ways but that's why I wanted to learn to totally free my mind why I wanted to learn meditation as for my pics that's for the P. I. Only but Ty have a blessed day and take care peace be with you 😇
@@Zenways_zen Ty very much I'm going to check out the link you sent me I'm very much looking forward to learning more and being more much more self aware with in myself again Ty very much for answering this and giving me guide to meditation or a start in the direction I'm needing 😇😇
Don't mean to pick... But for a calm speaking person, you blink a lot! It has meaning!
Misconceptions of wisdom.
Could have listened to an hour more...but I guess there isn’t much more to say.
怎耦合撒吗
I have sat zazen for a long time and found nothing! There is nothing that we can call self. When body and thinking fell off there is nothing left. What do you call that?
Hey golden ratio, you probably found satori but didn't have the words for it because there are none!
Body and thinking fell off?
Does that mean you were no longer able to move your arms...or do arithmetic?
Chan means sudden.
Zen means leaving idea of all subjective possessions living and being in nature.
How do I meditate??? Please let me know thank you
There are lots of resources out there to help you get started with meditation. You could try our book "Practical Zen: Meditation and Beyond" if you want our take.
What if you feel like crap in the here and now?
You are not your feelings, your feelings are you.
If you're not at peace it means that you are not entirely here. Like
@infjlp9 said: To transcend duality is to be here and now. To be present.
"What if you feel like crap in the here and now?"
Exactly...you can be completely un-enlightened in the 'here and now'.
Dumb animals do it all the time.
tell me again what conditions i must adhere to in order to be free from all conditions?
We covered this on Sunday, the video should be appearing any time now.
@@Zenways_zen XD
Why would you want to be free from all conditions?
Isnt that called a coma?
How do I find my zen
Same
have you looked under the couch ?
Does Zen Buddhists believe Zazen is the only true path?
Some do. But we don't. That's why our teacher gave our sangha the name Zenways.

JESUS Christ is the truth the way and the life and gives us a spirit of peace a peace that passeth ALL understanding

Zen means intel is screwed....
I got here because of Hunter x hunter
Me too like I feel like zushi 👁👄👁
My sense of happiness comes from the Book of Revelation in The Holy Bible. Spending eternal life in heaven with God is just about euphoria or as happy of a thought that you can have. Buddhism is a religion developed by man. Christianity is a faith given to us by Jesus Christ, God Himself.
And everyone who has ever lived who doesn't accept and believe what you do, no matter how good or kind or caring they were, is condemned to eternal suffering by your God. Lovely.
Jesus and every other deity is created by man
Cz man is coward.
And God separated man one from another and gave them different languages. The word (of) God is written, spoken and worshipped in many languages. Is one language better or worse than another language? God gave all language.
rewrote the Bible for his purposes to control the masses. In any case as long as the scales are balanced you will achieve your form of heaven or nirvana when becoming one with the universe. Words are use just to make it simple for people to understand it.
None of this is gonna help you in the life to come it's only through Jesus that we can know that we have passed from death (this world) to life in heaven living with Jesus
Jesus is the way the truth and the light. No other. Prayer is meditation and communication with God. It's a pure source of power no harm in it. It's a safe source of PEACE too. Not all sources are safe, not all are pure. Some are tainted with the dark side.

No one needs to be helped
MOSH3 02 For someone defending Zen, you’re extremely dismissive.
