Do you have a question you'd like answered by a zen master? Send it in, and Roshi might just answer. This time someone asks about Big Mind and "zazen"

  • ...shitsticmuh!!!...

  • Zen is not taught, everyone has Zen. Everyone is a master of Zen too. It's not in a book and it's not online. It just is. That is all.

  • Have any of the critics here ever done Big Mind process themselevs before judging it? Just wondering....

  • Personally I feel that whatever seems enough for you probably is, and yet I can see the value in this in a non-dualistic way. It's not saying that mind and body are separate (or thoughts/ felt sense and spirituality) but that they are two inter-related aspects. Just sitting could potentially shift a person's energy too high; Big Mind, while a relatively new name/ concept also encourages full experiencing and recognition of the many parts of being human- not escape but integration.

  • "Two purposes"? Um...meanwhile back at non-dualism.

  • !!!WARNING!!! Genpo's Big Mind is not to be confused with the Clear Light Mind or the same, the Luminous Mind which in Sanskrit is prabhâsvara-citta.

  • Hai.

  • That was great, thankyou Genpo!
