ZAZEN MEDITATION

Through the sitting meditation (Za = to sit, Zen = meditation), the center of Zen practice, we educate powerfully in the same moment our mind and our body. Through a continuos attention to the breath and to the posture you arrive to cultivate , or better say to discover again, a quiet and serene mind. abandoning the deceiving ego,we are ready to receive with naturalness and spontaneously the teaching of the Master. SHI-KAN-TA-ZA, "simply to sit", is all we point to not only while we sit in Zazen, but also when we prepare tè, when we work in office or when we speak to everyone; it is a deep teaching that accompany us in every momenti of our life. Practicing Shikantaza and MUSHOTOKU (without purpose or profit spirit ) we learn a total activity, free from the conditioning and preconceiveds, that make us transparent to life. " Zen is the Way that get us through again to Universe" (Kodo Sawaki Roshi).
