Zen body is what sets Zen Buddhism apart from its predecessor, Chinese Mahayana Buddhism.
They just added some exercise, Qigong, and hippy logic.
Your body is your temple of God.
No matter what religion you are, it certainly teaches you to care for your body. After all, the congregation gets more money from healthy parishioners than sickly, weak peasants.
Your body is God's body?
Well, if we have any powers in the afterlife, each of us is Godly.
That's a step. I wanted to say, "Each of us is a God," but I said "Godly" instead.
Ha-ha. Just cause I told what I wanted to say doesn't mean I said it. Right?
So each of us shows the power of creation in ourselves.
We create ourselves. We create our self. Someone has to take responsibility for you and your body.
Who is it? Who is it that takes care of you? Is it you?
Good. And how well are you taking care of yourself?
You get one shot at this body.
One lifetime.
Your Zen Body is your body is your zen is your body of zen is your life.
Shock.
You never took this seriously before?
That's why we created Zen Buddhism. How many religions say go out and exercise!
