Zen is:
1. Chinese, Ch’an. Buddhism . a Mahayana movement, introduced into China in the 6th century a.d. and into Japan in the 12th century, that emphasizes enlightenment for the student by the most direct possible means, accepting formal studies and observances only when they form part of such means. Compare koan, mondo.
.
2. the discipline and practice of this sect.
.
Zen is also:
.
The practice of finding complete peace and tranquility within one’s self. I have a friend with whom I talk to about peace, zen and tranquility. We have our own views of zen. But, that is the beauty of Zen. It is where ever you find peace.
.
Your zen is unique. Maybe your zen is sitting at a coffee shop surrounded by people, or maybe it is sitting on a giant rock in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees.
.
Whichever your zen, try to find it at least once a week. Go to your zen spot (if you can do up your bedroom in a zen-like state, even better) and breath in through your nose, exhale through your mouth and let your mind settle.
.
This is the last in line for A-Z posts! I had a lot of fun with this project. I came upon a lot of cool blogs and had a lot of cool new commenters (and you old heads rock too!).
.
My theme for the A-Z Challenge was mostly about SELF. Things that breed happiness, peace and confidence.
.
Have a great week everyone!
