We all know the hashtag gets thrown around a lot. But as Zen practitioners, what do we really mean by it?

A true Zen moment, at its core, is simply experiencing the present as it is—raw, direct, and free from labels.

Most people, however, confuse this with their perceptions: moments colored by bias, assumptions, and misinformation. Instead of seeing clearly, they filter reality through their mental clutter.

And in doing so, they miss the magnificence of the moment itself.

See you at the meditation session tonight.

Yes, I understand your perspective, even if I don't agree with it. Seriously though, it's essential to consider others' criticism for our growth, but it's equally important to recognize that many so-called "advice and opinions" stem from biased perceptions rooted in unawareness. As practitioners, we must be discerning about which opinions to entertain and work on. See you tonight.

Yes, we all carry guilt from unfinished business and unfulfilled promises.

But understand this: for an untrained mind, such things are natural and inevitable.

Don’t let them weigh you down. When we cultivate wisdom through steady practice, we learn to engage fully—body and mind aligned, awareness present. In this way, we leave less space for guilt and resentment, and more space for a life that is clear, focused, and truly productive.

Note: I am one of those ducks that need to cross over the pond (paramita). Still working on myself to have less room for guilt and resentment. So please bear with me. 😌

See you tomorrow.

Kung nagduha duha paka sa unsa ang pamunoan sa inyong relasyon, diin lisod gayod kung asa ka mobarog, isip ba usa ka higala or usa ka hinugugma.

Kung kini imong kahimtang, apil na sa atong meditation sesyon karon aron atong mapamalandongan ug mahayagan imong mga sugilanon.

Kita ta unyang gabie.

Last meditation session topic;

Everyone knows August as Ghost Month, but not everyone understands where this custom comes from.

It traces back to the Buddhist Ullambana tradition, which began in the time of the Buddha.

The practice is not only about offering prayers to wandering spirits of the dead. It’s also about extending good wishes to the living—whose spirits often wander, too.

And truthfully, there may be even more restless spirits among the living than among the dead. Those are the ones who need our prayers most.

So wish them well—both the living and the departed.

Join us for meditation session tomorrow.

Last meditation session topic;

After practicing the Way for some time, we come to realize that we cannot walk it alone. Interaction and cooperation with others are essential for a bearable and fulfilling existence. Yet most sentient beings struggle to understand the true nature of things. This ignorance leads to suffering in their lives—and often creates challenges in ours as well.

So how do we share our understanding and realizations, so that together we may live in a world more suitable for practice and enlightenment?

This is where skillful means (upāya-kauśalya) comes in—something the Buddha strongly encouraged.

In Buddhism, skillful means refers to the ability of enlightened beings, especially Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, to adapt their teachings and methods to the unique needs and capacities of others, guiding them gradually toward awakening.

See you in our next meditation session.

Please note that there will be no meditation session tomorrow. See you next week. May you be well and happy. 😀

Last meditation session topic;

As the saying goes, “Monkey see, monkey do.”
There’s truth to it.

According to the Buddha, this insight is related to what he called Mirror-Like Wisdom (Adarsa-jhana). It’s “mirror-like” because, just as a mirror reflects whatever is before it, our mind reflects our perceptions exactly as they are. But when the mind is clouded—like a dirty mirror—the reflections become distorted and unclear.

The reality we experience depends on the clarity of our mind.
Clear the mind through daily meditation.

Last meditation session topic;

When asked, “What is the benefit of meditation?”

The real answer is this: it awakens our ability to understand and clearly discern the true nature of things—including our own minds.

It’s not about chasing feel-good outcomes like relaxation, calm, or inner peace. Those may come, and they can be helpful, but they’re surface-level. Temporary.

What truly matters is deep insight into reality. That’s what brings lasting peace—peace that doesn’t depend on external conditions.

In Zen, this awakening is called Jianxing (Kensho)—the first stage of true awareness in Zen training.

See you tomorrow!

Last meditation session topic;

In Zen art, the concept of emptiness is central—it enhances the value and beauty of an object. Because emptiness can’t be measured or expressed directly, artists frame space with limits to give reverence a form. This gave rise to the idea of Ma (間), which stems from Mu (無), reflecting the Buddha’s teachings on Śūnyatā (emptiness).

What results is simplicity and beauty at their purest.

See you again soon.
