"undo" how to Zazen 【English ver.】

雲堂 "undo" : iPhone App for Free→http://bit.ly/ggprCF

Now, let's start sitting!
With this Higanji's Zazen application, you will be able to do Zazen whenever, where ever you want.
A single tap will start playing the instructions for Zazen. You will know the beginning of the session by hearing the bell of a Zen temple.
You can set the session time freely.

Of course Higanji's application is not only this. For the ones who have never experienced Zazen, we are providing further explanation through the internet using video.

This application is linked with Twitter. You can set it to automatically inform the world when you are doing Zazen. Also it will give you information of how many people, and the total time they have done Zazen within 24 hours.

Just for now, set free of all your thoughts and sit in the UNDO; a place where monks do their practice.
Breathe deeply and calmly, let the sound of the bell start your Zazen.

Hallo,

Thanks for contacting us,

Basically, we do it that way because it's written in 普勧坐禅儀 (fukanzazengi) by Dogen. We regard keeping up a tradition as it is very important to Zen.

Also, from my experience, I feel the human body structure is asymmetrical. The tradition has a specific way for the body movements to accompany the working of nature.

Why is a track field always counterclockwise? Surely, it can be made to run clockwise. You can feel a different flow of power when you change it.

As a Westerner who is still learning, this seems strange to me, but I am glad to be informed. It helps me to grow and learn. I thank you very much.

@higannet It's my personal understanding that the posture is very important to keep one awake and aware while sitting.

Why must it be left palm over the right palm in sitting meditation? What would happen if we were to do it right palm over the left? Thank u.
