Zentao in 10 steps
Posted By Sensei on June 28th, 2010
Zentao is a practical experience.
Zentao is not a theory, a religion or a philosophy.
Here are 10 steps to put (with some effort) into a daily practice:
- respect the body and the life of every sentient being
- live naturally loving and respecting the environment to which we belong
- prevent disease constantly taking care of your body-mind rather than intervening after
- cultivate positive emotions such as love, kindness, compassion, joy, empathy, equanimity
- self-control in order to eliminate the occurrence of negative emotions as illusion, anger, desire
- focus on the present detaching your thoughts from past and future
- seek constantly balance and harmony
- meditate and accept the impermanence of things
- meditate on the illusory nature of self and on the false dualistic concept
- strive for union with the everchanging eternal present
