The 'Zen' is the art of productive and peaceful living.The 'Zen' has no theory,it is an inner knowing for which there is no clearly stated 'Dogma'.'Zen' deemphasizes the power of the intellect and extols that of intuitive action.It's ultimate aim is to free the individual from anger,illusion and false passion.
'Enlightenment' simply means recognising the inherent harmony of ordinary life.'Zen' teaches that life must be seized at the moment.By living in the present,you are in full contact with yourself and your environment.It is when doing something,you are doing it at the fullest.Those who are patient in trivial things in life and control themselves will one day have the same mastery in great and important things.
You will never learn anything new unless you are ready to accept yourself with your limitations.You must accept the fact that you are capable,in some directions and limited in others, and you must develop your capabilities.Instead of trying to do well in everything,do things perfectly of which you are capable of.One can learn much about 'Zen' from any activity one is engaged in by being aware of one's inner reactions.The key is a constant exercise of awareness,vigilance of the mind and relaxation of the body.Applying 'Zen', free an individual from concern,tension and anxiety about winning or losing.Past is just an illusion.'Vanity' is the only obstacle to life.It is better to strengthen your own line or knowledge than to try and cut your opponents' line.
