My Zazen

Today, The World is full of information, and people have plenty of tasks to handle.

How many time we ask ourself how great it is if we just need to handle one task at a time, or reading or watching one piece of information at a time. It seems to be impossible, right?

I have faced the same above problem. It took me a while to find out that zazen can help.

The fact is: Yes, we can handle just one thing at a time. The only thing that prevent us from being able to do so is our mind. Our minds often juggling things that we have to care or worry about. And keeping juggling things like that will make us soon tired and stress. Zazen give us the ability to put things aside, and handle them one by one, at each moment, everyday.

In a nutshell, practicing Zazen give us the ability to focus at any moment. That sounds simple, but it is much harder in reality. By siting crossed-leg, trying to focus our mind for 20 or 30 minutes everyday, we try to improve our ability to focus. And gradually, we will become more productive and have less stress.

This blog, is a place for me to share with you my experience and practice. Please feel free to ask questions, I would gladly to answer. Or even better, if you have a story about your own experience, please share.

Thanks
