I suspect #Zen practitioners' non-thinking and the Western via negativa contemplatives' unknowing are connected. Zazen and the practice of "negative" contemplation allow an embrace from a living truth which we cannot know or think.
In this regard our knowing and thinking — they're always already too late.
不動心 Unfettered mind, phrase by #Zen master Takuan Sōhō (沢庵宗彭, 1573-1645).

Speaking very generally ...
Many #Zen retreats go seven days. It often takes 3 days to get quiet. Day 4 is frequently one of transition. Days 5 and 6 are often creatively productive and unpredictable, and — again speaking generally — that can be when I tend to get more pronounced but wholesome struggles, but also periods of calm and beauty. Day 7 is typically a day of re-integration and resolution.
Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Seung Sahn (1927–2004)
When you are able to stay perfectly clear by cutting off all thinking and yet not falling into a trance-like sleep, this is sitting. When inside and outside become one, and no circumstances can hinder you, this is Zen. — Seung Sahn (1927–2004)

So, meine Robe ist da, ich werde also zum Mai-#Sesshin formell korrekt gekleidet im Zen-Kloster #Schönböken auflaufen.
Hiermit erkläre ich die Ära des Zeremonial-Jogginganzugs offiziell für beendet. :)
Ich kann das stapeln einfach nicht lassen. Bin ich jetzt ein Hochstapler? Grüße von der Kaitzer Höhe. #Dresden #Zen #spurenvonwildnis
During #Zen retreat work periods it's not about, say, getting the windows clean — it's about washing them.
In tonight's #meditation that sense was present ... as in ...
it's not about achieving a certain state — it's about sitting.
It's what's happening.
