Right Here Right Now 100 Zen Thoughts

These thoughts are based on the "philosophy" of Zen Buddhism and day-to-day meditation practice. They should not be taken so seriously because they are not part of a dogma. They may be part of a way of life, a way of acting to make it simple and conscious. Meditation is the essence of this path, but is not primordial. It is but a vehicle, a method. There is so much to do in life beyond meditation. These thoughts can serve as a basis for intellectual and even sentimental meditation. If they are turned into actions in everyday life, then, the path will have been traversed.
May these thoughts awaken the Buddha that resides in all of us.
