Passive Meditation
Zazen
Face a blank wall or quiet space. Keep the body stable, breath natural, and gaze soft. Do not concentrate on one point; remain open and alert.
Practice style
- Sit in a comfortable, stable posture with the spine upright.
- Keep the eyes half open and let the gaze rest softly ahead without fixing on one point.
- Keep the body as still as comfortably possible, breathe naturally, and remain in choiceless awareness.
Do Not Lose the Witness
The method is only an entrance. Whether it uses breath, dance, sound, darkness, sitting, or relationship, what matters most is gradually seeing what is happening rather than only chasing an experience.
