One Small Next Step
ZENENERGY
In this ZenEnergy reflection, Diana Zen introduces the ZenEnergy Orientation Method and the heart of the ZenEnergy Clarity Companion. When the mind feels crowded, clarity can feel far away. Thoughts, responsibilities, fears, unfinished conversations, grief, pressure, hope, and uncertainty may arrive all at once. In those moments, the mind may try to solve everything at once, when what is needed first is orientation. This episode explores four simple steps: Name what is unclear. Separate what is loud. Find what is steady. Choose one small next action. The ZenEnergy...

ZE 024: My Beloved Grandmother (Enhanced Podcast)
ZENENERGY
The passing of my beloved grandmother made it more clear for me that all worldly possessions are non-essential and irrelevant. In the end, All the struggles to get ahead, to achieve material things, are meaningless. Life is but a ceaseless stream of non-self originating arising and departing Karmic event.

ZE 021: Embracing The Murmur Within (Enhanced Podcast)
ZENENERGY
Within each of us, there exist the murmur of yearning for a spiritual quest to find the meaning of life. There are endless external and internal distractions and diversions that hinder our quest for spiritual knowledge and Inner Peace. We must embrace the murmur inside ourselves and embark on the discovery for knowledge and live in Zen, so that we may return to our timeless inner peace.
info_outline“A Dialogue on the Contemplation-Extinguished” is one of the core Zen text. Episode 20 examines a teaching in this profound early Zen text: “To have thoughts is to have mind. To have mind contradicts the Way. To have No-Thoughts is to have No-Mind. No-Mind is the true Way.” To have mind is to possess an egohood and arising subjective thoughts, rooted in deluded awareness of the discriminating mind. Having mind, we make egocentric choices and initiate actions that thrust us toward karmic entanglements. Having mind, we are unable to remain at Inner Peace and we entrap ourselves within realm of Samara. To have No-Mind is to dissolve the illusions of the self and live with the universal altruism and negate the cycle of karmic creation and perpetuation. As we live with the Original No-Mind, we experience the present with our full awareness. We harmonize with our immediate surrounding and live in the life stream, yet be unswayed and unaffected by its flow. Living with the No-Mind, we live within the Timeless Inner Peace, in the here and now.
