Wisdom emanates from many sources and in all parts of the word, people have their own way of gaining, propagating and ensuring that there is sustainability for their kind of wisdom among generations. Each culture believes that their wisdom concepts far outweigh those of other cultures, and this would explain why people go to the extent of preserving their concepts and philosophies in books and more so in the minds of the representatives of each subsequent generation.
Zen is one among the many philosophies of wisdom that have existed from a long time ago. Its principles and understanding emanates from one of the many schools of Buddhism, whose main focus is on meditation. It emphasizes the importance of engaging in the practice on a daily basis, especially with a focus on the benefits of other people.
The concepts of Zen are deeply rooted in various schools of thought like Mahayana, Huayan, Yogacara and the Thathagatagarbha Sutra. Although over time people have slowly lost the original meaning of Zen and have given it meaning in totally unrelated concepts, Zen has retained its original sense of remarkable wisdom, which is rooted in the Chinese tradition.
Zen is a traditional practice that focuses on the here and now. It lays emphasis on becoming fully aware of the circumstances that surround you at this particular moment, where your life is at right now. The principle behind this is that both the present and the future are both just illusions, since we have no promise of the future, and the past is just a distorted memory of things that happened, both of which are intangible.
Zen is hence encompassed in the common expression of ‘coming in touch with your senses.’ It actually discourages people from living in the past of fantasizing about the future because while they do so, they lose out on life, on the moment and on the activity at hand.
If you give all your attention to Zen, what you experience is a peak of your life, where each moment is simply a moment of utmost peace and precision. It is in this moment that you find significance and a sense of mystery that is so infinitely precious. Keep reading this book to uncover the concepts of Zen and sure enough, by the time you are done reading the only answer that you will have to Zen is ‘now!’
