This is the best video I’ve ever seen on how to meditate, and it was produced at my practice home, the Hazy Moon Zen Center in Los Angeles. It depicts the precise instructions given in our beginner’s class and our one-day beginner’s retreats, and reiterates the teaching carried down through all 81 generations of our Zen ancestry. Now you have everything you need to begin, and to begin again. Our next Beginner’s Mind One-Day Retreat is Sunday, June 10.
thanks you so much for this meaningful video-it was very helpful 🙂

I agree… a really excellent instructional video. And it’s interesting they don’t mention thoughts once. It’s all about posture and breathing.
Thanks for sharing this, Karen!

“Then thoughts arise, don’t engage them, and don’t suppress them. Go back to the count.”

Clear and concise. All that’s left to do is sit!
