Cosa imparerai
We have all heard the word "Zen" but we may not be familiar with Zen Buddhism. This course will help you understand Zen Buddhism and spark your interest for its practice. Zazen or sitted meditation is more than just sitting, it is understanding that we are one with all that is. It is connecting to our inner space of peace and contentment.

Lezione 1
Introduction To Zen
We often use the word Zen in English as a way to mean relaxed, one could stay Zen or be Zen, but where is this word exactly coming from ? What is the etymology of the word Zen ? What is Zen ? Where is it coming from ?
Lezione 2
The Practice Of Zen
Let’s dive into the practice of Zen. Zen is uncommon because we don’t start from the scriptures to dive into the practice. We start with the practice. How can we practice Zen ? How should we sit ? How should we breathe ? What is the end of the practice ?
Lezione 3
The Wisdom Of Zen
Realizing that everything is one is the wisdom of Zen. Behind the practice there is also a philosophy or rather an anti-philosophy as we will see. How can we understand it and turn it into a practice ? Let’s dive into the wisdom of Zen.
Lezione 4
The Action Of Zen
The way we act is the center of Zen. How can we act in a Zen way ? The Zen action is a mindfulness practice because it takes us away from the separateness of the ego. In Zen we don’t act for the end, the means become the end.
Lezione 5
Zen : The Discovery Of Our Buddha Nature
Zen is the practice that brings us back to who we truly are : an open mind, flowing with life in deep presence. In other words, the practice of Zen doesn’t make us enlightened but makes us realize that we are already enlightened. How can we find the Buddha within ?

I have learned nothing, but I have learnt it with my full attention and have become the learning. A beautiful introduction to Zen, although with your accent I could happily have listened to you read from a car maintenance manual. Thank you for your words and your time
