    5.meditation.

    to perfect our bodhi we meditate. those new to meditation go slow. depending on your school of buddhism make it a daily practice.

    you can try my brand of meditation. now the therazen approach i us 6 to 8 mind proecess, effort, mindfulness/awareness and concentration. i use the breath as focus. i just feel deeply on the breath. shift awareness to breath only. when i started meditation my mind would wander. but witheffort and breath awareness the mind becomes focus/concentrated. just keep at it and return to breath.

    now my daozen meditation which it feel no meditation at all. i can just be and do at will. years of practice made my meditation perceptly without much effort to it. i just breath normallity. but my bodhi mind body is at ease. its just natural samatha state or tranquil rest state. with natural will now i can manage the 6 sense organ. i can rest or engage them.

    so my morning meditation routine. i sit on my cusion bedroom. in zen we let all the senses be as if you are one with all the senses. all seeing hearing be. in my zen state. the be state just is aware and natural bright mind feeling. now i can rule my mind not let mind/undisipline mind rule me. hense make it true what buddha said with our mind we create the world.

    my zen meditation be u and do, just sit. but those interested in the zen traidition should do their tradition. my zen is not sanction by their lineage. but it suites me. its simple and

    in my daozen meditate on emptiness is form and form is emptyness its getting there to pentertate its nature. daozen practice is my thrid year of practice. but thera practice for 15 plus years still guide im therazen. im experiment e states if it align with zen to penerate the heart suttra. enter/meditate, empathize/relate be enlighten/realize this bodhi state. i will see. daozen will be my main be and do state going foward

    1. wisdom

    big topic. what has help my bodhi in dao zen is accept things as they are. the three marks of reality has helped. the three marks are, change, imperminence, and aware two truth self/nonself. in my zen try to feel experientially this truths to penentrate my mind.

    then develop a personal wisdom perspective out of these observation. change is inevitable, so in zen go with it. my mantra, chop wood and go with the season helps me calm. my dao adapt like water go around things. imperminence, in zen acceptance. all is change and not lasting. daozen imperminance is like chapters in our life. allow us to turn the page and an oppertuinty to be and go whats next.and self and nonself is to make this awareness in the middle of these two states. zen it is one coin with two side.

    find wisdom were you can find it. the buddhas wisdom. less ego more be selfless. you are aware yes ego/self but moderate in its trapping of stress 3 poison of ego extreame. to wisely manage a healthy ego/self. wise middle not sway by it extreame. not extreame in attraction/greed...hatred/aversion...ignorance/delusion ego self state.

    to help our bodhi wisdom is to develop wise instinct. in my daozen i try to sense/vibe a person or situtation tha align my 3 mantra for self and other, be safe be smart and be well. its getting better this is our bodhi discernment development. we viscerally know in us to be wise who to avoid or step out a situation.

    share my personal wisdom, be yourself with self respect. dont compare yourself to others. awre to each his own. and live within your own means.

    live simply. live peacefully with your self and others. go and adapt to 3 features of reality. and develop wise karma by doing good to neutral karma and limit bad karma.

    karma is a lifelong work in process and as we learn and grow in karma it gets better in being safe,smart and well

    so those are the 6 perfections we develop on the bodhisattva path or bodhi development.

    back to the song, good intention. it is a bodhisattva song. yes a boddhi wants to feel this way, feel the same. in the path, our headspace has so much going on. and being new to the buddha way path some things in our headspace we dont want to mention. and this brain dont know how to manage it that the senses require our attention. but the heart of bodhi desire to be a good person with good intention is a start to take hold our brain and develop effort awareness and concentrative disipline we can rule our mind and not let the mind rule us out of impulses.

    we can manage our headspace by takeing a deep breath and look at our life and make little correction in our mind and make a world that better suites us to be and do in the world

    our brain has a wonderful rational and emotional side when made whole we can feel the world that is outside of us and the world in us.

    with peace/stable mind and love/compassion in us we can share that to others making this place a more pleasent living experience for all. salvation is in us all, with wisdom and compassion we can save ourself from our conditioning iinto a more clear headed person what the buddha call the dharma the law of things. as we grow and learn the law of nature the more accepting this law of life. leading to a more understanding mind and you final get som fun to make it your own in how you be and do things in your own lifestyle. so lifestyle on. i like to see how others be and do things. it helps my bodhi learn and grow too.
