Be a Light onto Yourself!

The Buddha said: "Be a Light onto yourself!" Your teachers can help you and prepare you. But you have to the one to light up your inner candle yourself. The inner investigation to experience being a Light onto oneself is the key of Zenway meditation. True meditation is mentally free from all opinions, from all outside influences, and from all authorities.

Search and investigate through first-hand experience, and you will find the Light with your own eyes.

How to Practice Zenway Meditation

To practice Zenway meditation, you don't have to stop your daily mundane activity, such as reading or driving; you don't even have to assume a particular posture. Real meditation and real bliss should be found in your activity itself. ...There is no particular form in true practice.

Whether in sitting relaxation or in action, Zenway meditation simply means: "Wake up and focus!"

Forms, preparations and procedures are not mandatory. Just stop what you are doing for a moment, take a break, stretch, breathe deeply, sit down, resume what you are doing, focus, and open your mind to whatever comes into it.

The mind always flys around. All you have to do when your mind is flying around is to notice you are flying around. And then stop. (by Brian Zen, CFA)
