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

Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are one

« I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These are your three greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you reconcile yourself with the meaning of the whole.
Compassionate with yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world. »

(Tao Te Ching, Chapter 67)

“Past and Future are illusions of the mind.
Wake up and look at what is real and true.
We can live with joy this Everchanging Eternal Present.”

“We suffer not for what happens to us, but we suffer depending how we place ourselves in relation to what happens.”

“All that exists is this unique everchanging eternal present.”
