Zazen

Zazen is a form of seated meditation central to Zen Buddhism. Practitioners sit comfortably with a straight back, focusing their attention on breath or present experience. The practice encourages observation of thoughts and sensations without attachment or judgment, fostering mindfulness and insight. Zazen is both a physical posture and a mental discipline, intended to cultivate awareness, centeredness, and inner calm. It emphasizes non-dualistic perception, helping practitioners deepen their understanding of self and reality through stillness and attentive presence.
