About Me
- Zafu Frog, Japan
- I wanted to quieten my mind so I tried meditation. Soon I found shikantaza, which means 'just sitting', the meditation taught by the Soto school of Zen Buddhism. Now I want to realise myself beyond thought.

People who watch my blog.
Interesting that all the people they showed had their eyes closed... I do zazen with my eyes open, how about you?
ReplyDeleteWas a nice piece and a nice Doctor there running the system...
Half closed, looking down at about a 45% angle. If there's a wall in front of me (there always is) I look through it, rather than at it. Ultimately I prefer to let go of my sight and focus my mind's eye on something else, like my breathing, or my posture.
