| | ZCLA Dharma Talks - Your Zazen is the Zazen of the Buddhas |
 | | The zazen of Shakyamuni Buddha is okay; the zazen of the Buddhas and Patriarchs is okay. | | | Appreciate that your zazen is the zazen of the Buddha. | | | When you do shikantaza, have faith in the fact that your zazen is the same zazen as the zazen of the Buddhas and Patriarchs. |

| | Zazen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Zazen (坐禅) is at the heart of Zen Buddhist practice. | | | In Zen Buddhism, zazen (Japanese: literally "seated meditation") is a meditative discipline practitioners perform to calm the body and the mind and experience insight into the nature of existence. | | | Long periods of zazen, usually performed in groups at a zendo (meditation hall), may alternate with periods of kinhin (walking meditation). |

| | Zen Meditation - The Seat of Enlightenment |
| | In fact, Zen Buddhists are generally known as the "meditation Buddhists." Basically, zazen is the study of the self. | | | Zazen is a particular kind of meditation, unique to Zen, that functions centrally as the very heart of the practice. | | | Upon his own enlightenment, Buddha was in seated meditation; Zen practice returns to the same seated meditation again and again. |

| | Zazen - the formal practice of seated meditation |
| | Zazen, the formal practice of seated meditation, is the cornerstone of Zen training. | | | Through zazen, we realize the unity of the self with the ten thousand things, which has the potential to transform our lives and those of others. | | | But more than just meditation, zazen is a powerful tool of self-inquiry, boundless in its scope and ability to reveal the true basis of reality. |

| | The Way of Zazen, by Shodo Harada Roshi |
| | This is the world of zazen, the world of the Buddha's samadhi. | | | Zazen is one form of yoga, and you must not go against your muscle structure. | | | Zazen: Meditation; sitting in which one cuts all connections with the external world and lets go of all concerns within. |

| | BODHIDHARMA |
| | Zazen is to Zen what the Eucharist is to the Christian Church. | | | Authentic Zazen takes place within the horizon of the historical and religious dimensions; it is the actualization and recapitulation of the Buddha and the Patriarchs, transmitted from master to disciple, and nourished and validated in the matrix of the Sangha. | | | However, seated meditation or Zazen - which comprises both shikantaza and koan meditation - is central to the Zen way. |

| | Zazen and Christianity |
| | To that question, I usually answer that Zen is not a religion, in the same sense that Christianity is a religion. | | | Almost all Buddhist sects can be called religions. | | | Here you must remember, that the experience attained by zazen practice is not a thought or a philosophy or a religion, but merely a fact, a happening. |

| | Zazen |
| | Rooted in ancient meditative practices, Zazen differs from other forms of meditation in that it uses no meditation object or abstract concept for the sitter to focus on. | | | For the same reasons a Koan Zazen cannot be called meditation. | | | Whether one is striving to achieve unity with his Koan or, for instance, intensely asking, "What is Mu?" he is not meditating in the technical sense of this word. |

| | ABZenD : 180 answers about zen from Master Deshimaru |
| | Faith is important in Buddhism, and in Zen there are various objects of faith - zazen, or the kesa, or the master. | | | You say that when we practice zazen we are Buddha or God, and you also say that we must abandon the ego. | | | You say that Zen wants to reach the highest wisdom and the deepest love, but some people think zazen produces indifference to others, they say it is the opposite of the active charity taught by Christianity. |

| | Zazen Posture |
| | The fundamental practice in zen is meditation called zazen, which is a Japanese word that literally means "sitting zen" or "sitting concentration." Zazen is the practice of awareness, of bringing your attention, or concentration, to the present moment-this whole and complete moment--by bringing your awareness to your posture, your breathing, and your state of mind. | | | The Vietnamese zen teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, says, "We practice so that each moment of our life becomes real life." Actually, there is no other goal in zen practice but to engage fully in our essential being. | | | In zen meditation, we use our body as an ally so that anything we experience, we can practice with. |

| | This is in contrast to Rinzai Zen, which does seek Buddha-hood through the breakthrough by the the use of koans. | | | Indeed, the success of Zen Buddhism, when it was introduced in Japan in the Kamakura Period (1192 - 1333) was due to the strong support of the noble and samurai warrior class. | | | I have been practicing Zazen here in Japan for more than 12 years now, every day, every day, and have received instructions mainly at Soto-Zen temples, but also at Rinzai temples. |
