#255 The 8 PILLARS of Zen Philosophy & Practice Dec. 23th -18
The 8 pillars of Zen philosophy & practice
The following are not in specific order.
1) Being mindful to the present moment and its content, the only existing reality.
That is to pay attention in a non-analytic and non-decisional way to the current and concrete reality of the NOW, the only reality that exists. In this space-time called NOW we experience true reality in many ways such as being mindful to our body, what we are doing, the use of our 5 senses to sense and scan our surrounding environment. Daydreaming in the past and future made of zillions of thoughts, feelings, regrets and expectations is definitely not Zen since they are the products of or restless mind and therefore pure virtual realities even if they exist.
