Spiritual Zen is Spiritual Health

Our slogan for Shaolin Zen is, "Do nothing for a reason."™

This is my way of slapping some of those Japanese Zenners back to consciousness.

Searching for nothing will yield nothing.

Trying to achieve that black void of nothingness -

Hey! Wait until your dead for that, you're alive now, so be alive!

That's Zen. Be alive!

Meditation is done for the sake of meditation? That doesn't even make sense.

Just meditating because you think meditating is good for you -- well, you're almost right. However, if you haven't been properly taught to meditate you're wasting your time. Daydreaming or napping would be much more productive that 'trying to do nothing.'

Meditate for a reason. To relax. To energize. To ponder. To explore. To heal.

So that's my jab at 'nothing.' Do nothing FOR A REASON.

Don't waste your time meditating. Get something done.

Oh, despite the picture above, of our First Patriarch, Bodhidharma, sit in a chair or lay down. Those cross legged stances are bad for your leg circulation.

Once again, don't try to do something in a bad way. Be comfortable. Be healthy.
