Remember Zen : Awaken The Buddha-Nature Within

The great way does not have to be a difficult journey. The Buddha-nature or spirit within is fundamentally pure. Many people end up trying to sit their way to emptiness to purify what is already divine. I say less sitting and more awareness in this book for a very important reason. We can reach a point where the mind can rest naturally much sooner by making a direct connection with nature. Some sitting meditation is always required, but we must practice continual awareness with our eyes open, even while walking to the post office. Sitting around like a stone Buddha is not the path I am sharing. I hope that Remember Zen captures the subtleties of enlightenment well. It has the potential to remove decades or even lifetimes of practice from one who is ready to change their consciousness now.When we understand the three main components of our being better, it is much easier to see the problems a mind spinning out of control with desires and life-issues can bring. Buddhism puts a lot of thought into the concept of emptiness or voidness. I call it oneness in the book. Buddha never mentioned God or the prime creator for a simple reason--if we rely on an external force we will never look within and attain. He knew that when more people began to see the interdependence of everything they would naturally sense the oneness of it all. We are connected to all that is and when we are ready, the cosmos assists us in our awakening.
