“Not thinking about anything is zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the buddha.... Using the mind to reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation.” ThinkingKnowsMindLooksRealityLyingAwarenessWalkingSittingStandingEmptyOneselfLiberationDelusionLying Down Book:The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma Source: The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma
“I meditate at airports because those are the places where I’m extremely tense, and I often meditate while I’m walking down the street. I have a thought and become aware of that thought and thereby create another level of awareness.” LevelsStreetsAwarenessWalkingAirportsTense Author:Pankaj Mishra
“Don't think that only sitting with the eyes closed is practice. If you do think this way, then quickly change your thinking. Steady practice is keeping mindful in every posture, whether sitting, walking, standing or lying down. When coming out of sitting, don't think that you're coming out of meditation, but that you are only changing postures. If you reflect in this way, you will have peace. Wherever you are, you will have this attitude of practice with you constantly. You will have a steady awareness within yourself.” IfsThinkingWayEyeLyingAttitudePracticeMeditationAwarenessWalkingSittingStandingSteadyComing OutPostureWherever You AreLying Down Author:Ajahn Chah
“Remember that breath walking - as with any meditation technique - should not be pursued with a grim determination to 'get it right.' The point is to cultivate openness, relaxation and awareness, which can include awareness of your undisciplined, wandering mind.” ShouldMindRememberMeditationAwarenessWalkingDeterminationBreathsTechniqueWanderOpennessRelaxationPursuedGrimUndisciplinedWandering Mind Author:Andrew Weil
“Go deep into meditation. and be meditation I mean silence, awareness, witnessing. You can meditate any time of the day, you can meditate working, walking, doing things. Meditation is not something separate from life; it should not be separate, otherwise it remains a little artificial. Meditation should be spread all over life. You should walk in meditation, you should sit in meditation; that means silently, fully aware. Slowly slowly it becomes your very flavour, then the bridge is created.” ShouldMeanLittlesWalksSilenceMeditationAwarenessWalkingRemainsSpreadBridgesArtificialFlavour Author:Rajneesh
