"The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring with you."-Robert M. Pirsig
Zen is different to everyone.
In class we discussed Zen as being multiple things like happieness, and a sense of feeling calm.
Zen:A school of Mahayana Buddhism that asserts that enlightenment can be attained through meditation, self-contemplation, and intuition rather than through faith and devotion and that is practiced mainly in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Also called Zen Buddhism
Zen is a different meaning for me. My Friends, Family, and Health is calming to me in my life. I get strength from my friends and family, and I am incredibly calm but happy when I know I am healthy. Zen is what makes me happy and strong. I am not a very spiritual person but I do take intuition seriously, and I also believe that everything happens for a reason.
The meaning of the word "Zen" to me is having to not do anything that involves going to the library for two straight days especially when its the weekend. That's my Zen!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading these "class topic" posts because you put your own writing voice into them. I like the images/photos you selected for each as well.
