For most of us, the phrase “sitting in meditation” refers to the practice of physically sitting still and and re-focusing our attention to the present moment. Living with the true Zen meaning of sitting in meditation, we effortlessly exist at inner peace while at rest and while in motion. Within the true state of sitting in mediation, we live within the life stream at full awareness and adaptively respond to the life circumstances with our Inner Light and an universal compassion.
"We should never take for granted the timespan during which we have the adequate health and mental faculty to embark and continue along the life path toward a Timeless Inner Peace."
"I contemplate how we are symbolically similar to the lotus blossom yet so innately different compared to the lotus plant."
Ngày Giỗ is a beautiful and meaningful tradition in my culture. Every year on the date of passing, the family members get together for Ngày Giỗ, the Day of Remembrance and Commemoration.
The written words are meant to transmit The Teaching by making the invisible visible through the myriad of examples and metaphors.
It is essential that we have the self-confidence and the belief in ourselves and our own capability to transcend the mundane.
"Both our so-called luck and misfortune are the result of our Karmic doings. We will encounter whom we must to meet, until our Karmic entanglements are fully resolved. The Karmic world is a closed system and while inside it we shall not escape our own doings."
"Live each moment meaningfully, so that it shall further the journey toward Nirvana."
"The Karmic world is a closed system and while inside it we shall not escape our own doings."

Living with the Original No-Mind, our thought flow seamlessly without blockage and interruption. Within the thought flow, the mind does not become emotionally affixed to any one arising thought to hinder the objectivity of awareness. We exist at the enduring Zen state of meditation…the state of Timeless Inner Peace.
Existing as a human is fundamental, since it allows one to put The Teaching into practical application first hand and be at Nirvana in the present.
Our perceptions are perpetually influenced by our past. As we navigate through life using our senses and subjectively interpret the sensory information, our impressions are never truly accurate.
There is only one actuality...one true Reality. Yet, we all see that absolute Reality differently. We each see our life reality through our own color-tinted lenses and filtered, distilled, and refined by our past experiences and bias.
Our lifetime is precious and finite, we must embrace the murmur inside ourselves and embarks on the discovery for knowledge to return to our Timeless Inner Peace.
"Enlightenment is a absolute and unchanging state of being and awareness. One is either Enlightened or one is not Enlightened. There is nothing in between...no gray areas...no confusions."
Our perception is a combination of the gathered awareness and our mind’s subjective interpretation of the information. The present can only be wholly acknowledged when we have complete vision of both ourselves and the world around us.
Living in Zen is living with the objective clarity of the Original No-Mind. We live with the Inner Light, at full illumination, and harmoniously respond to the outer circumstances with an all embracing universal altruism.
One can contemplate and reflect on the similarities and differences between human and plant life. Having the human form is essential in order to make progress toward transcendence of the Karmic cycle.--ZenMoon
