From a past participant:
In summing up Rose, I have to say thankyou from the bottom of my heart. Your Four Day Retreat and Teacher Meditation Training has been life changing for me, it has given me hope after a very dark period in my life. I am now practising REAL!! Self care not lip service, and my body thanks me for it everyday. Your simple comment of “it sounds like your Psoas Muscle’ in answer to some of my problems, sent me researching and once again looking for answers to a problem that I’ve had for 8 years. After countless medical opinions and thousands of dollars spent on testing and some not very pleasant procedures over an eight year period I finally feel like I am getting my life back on track with some flexibility and movement in my body.
I always find it amazing when you put it out to the universe and trust that it will provide that it does.
I feel truly blessed and look forward to my next workshop. I am sure you will notice the difference in me next year as I was in a pretty bad place when I came in September. I’m still recovering and it is a long journey, I have lots of patience and will take my time.
Love and Blessings to you and Fushin. [🌷]
Traditionally the true Essence of Zen has been held in the clouded mist of the inscrutable Eastern way of thinking. Yet at the same time it's growing popularity in the West is due to it's simplicity of practice.
Zen gives us the opportunity to perceive ourselves and our surroundings in their reality. Zen is a way and a view of life which does not belong to any of the formal categories of modern Western thought.
Zen is not fate based and it is not a faith. It is not a religion or philosophy. It is not a psychology nor a type of science. It is closer to what is known in India as a way of liberation, and is closer in this respect to Yoga and Taoism. Zen is a practice.
In Buddhism we look to enrich our lives through the enrichment of our minds. Zen is the actualization of our enriched Buddhist minds in our daily activities. It is the doing that comes from the knowing. It is the mindful practice of daily life. Through the regular practice of Zen meditation known as Zazen, it brings us to a state of peace and tranquility and contentment in life. There is no dogmatic ideology and for this reason, it can be practiced by anyone from any or no religion.
