Hello and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and in this audio I talk about the not-doing of Zazen.

Our minds are in a permanent state of action, always racing around erratically, constantly begging you to stimulate it, to think something, to do something, despite all our attempts to truly center ourselves, to meditate and to be content with zero activity.

But consider for a moment. When you're truly engrossed in something, when your truly involved deeply in the worlds doings, can you grasp the nature of self by looking at a world of doings? By jumping from one doing to the next doing?

The reason we are currently unable to realize peace and contentment is because such inter peace can only be realized through not-doing. In other words, you can't know this inner peace through struggle, or by meddling with whatever is happening right now because you yourself are a part of this momentum.
