My Zazen

My Zazen

Sit,
breathe.

Be still,
Observe breath.

Be still,
Observe sitting.

Breathe,
Observe breath.

Be still,
Observe stillness.

Be still,
Observe the observer.

Be still,
There is no observer.
Only the observing.
Only the stillness.


What is Zazen?
First we understand the word "zen." The word "zen" comes from a Sanskrit word "dhyana ध्यान" which means quiet contemplation. Zazen means sitting quietly in stillness by anchoring the mind on the breath and carrying out the quiet contemplation.
