Zen Meditation Instruction (How to Meditate)

[alexanderadavar]

10 years old and this is still the clearest most to the point video I've found on this

[udesharampola]

Listening to this video is like a meditation. Zero minutes wasted.

For the liberation of all sentient beings

I live in a household that would "Mock" these sort of things. So its very hard to keep my head clear. But some day I wish for Zen to be apart of my everyday life. Thanks for this video it realy helped with my posture when meditating

This will immensely change your life, if you are a novice to Zazen. Excellent video.
😌🙏❤️

I am returning to zazen after ten years of not doing meditation. I meditated ten years daily and experienced the best ten years in my adult life. Life, stress and anxiety caught up to me and I gave up all my practices. Ten years later I am suffering addictions, anxiety and health issues. It is time to clean up my life again and return to Zazen. 🙏☸️☯️ I am a redhead and us redheads are not limber. Maybe someday I can get half lotus if I’m lucky.

I've sat through so many sub par meditation instruction videos looking for something I can recommend to people. This is beautiful. Everything a beginning meditator needs to know and nothing they don't in under 8 minutes. Thank you.

Buddhist Meditation is very important for human beings . It helps us to control our mind so I think, everyone should practies meditation.

Offtopic here but beautiful woodworking in the background and an amazing wooden statue on the shelf, a calming and peaceful view outside with a clean and homey environment inside. Would love to meditate in such a place!

This practice changed my life. I can't thank you enough.

@bluefishbrad: Your mind naturally thinks, that is its function. Perhaps you would be able to stop it if you really tried, but this isn't the purpose of meditation. When thoughts arise, notice them, but don't follow them. Each time, just go back to the sensation or counting of the breath. The breath is the anchor to which to can always go back when you notice you have gotten caught up in thoughts. While meditating, put thought on one side, over and over, as each thought arises. See what remains.

I loved staying at the center. Thanks for such a deep experience. Meditation was kicked up a notch after that retreat.

The idea of zen meditation is to not think about anything but focus on breathing well not really focus on that but it's just to help you clear your mind and relieve stress because you lose the thought that was stressing you out. It's weird but once you master it you'll have a better focus and understanding of things in the world

I'm lucky to be able to sit in seiza for fairly long periods. I think it's the most symmetrical position. After 6 years of zen, my legs still go numb, however. Getting up is difficult, but no permanent harm done.

[ericarnow]

Nice, no fluff, no fancy music. Just the basic instruction.

[ZmcOrgYokoji]

You can, and many people benefit from doing so. It's a matter of choice and experimenting with what helps you. Consider that with any technique, there is also a limiting factor inherent in it. Zazen is different than many other meditations in that it is the direct experience of our life as it is, not dependent on circumstances or cultivated environments.

Absolutely one of the best instructional meditation videos I have ever seen.

[aaronbcallaghan]

I have just started reading about Zen and I've started meditating, specifically zazen and this has been very helpful. Thank you

[janegregory]

Nice! I also like meditation. 💚❤️
With my meditating I have personally appreciated watching lots of Spiritual Master Sri Avinash lately. #SriAvinashMeditation
I have found Sri Avinash's Satsangs very beautiful and helpful to my life. 🤲
