Hello, Jason Cain here and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today’s video is about Understanding Zazen Posture and Breathing and how to do zazen meditation!

Zazen, a form of seated meditation is at the very heart of Zen practice. To be enlightened by the ten thousand things is to recognize the unity of the self and all things. The Buddha sat in meditation to realize his enlightenment, and for 2,500 years this meditation tradition has continued, passed down to us from generation to generation. The Buddha’s meditation practice spread from India to China, to Japan, to other parts of Asia, and then finally to the West. The essential aspects of zazen are fairly easy to communicate and are important for both beginning and mature practitioners.

Hello, Jason Cain here and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today would like to share the Zen kōan “What is the Sound of One Hand Clapping”.

If you are unfamiliar with the term kōan (also called coagon), a kōan means riddle or puzzle that Zen Buddhists masters would use to help students unravel greater truths about themselves. The Kōan is not trying to get you anywhere intellectually; but is instead trying to make a shift in focus and is meant to make the novice realize that rational and discursive process doesn’t work.

Welcome to the Ancient Wisdom / Modern Mind blog and today I would like to share Zhuang Zhou’s “Butterfly Dream”

There is a Chinese saying that life is like a dream and a dream is like life, and this is illustrated vividly in Zhuang Zhou’s story.

Once Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a fluttering butterfly. What fun he had, doing as he pleased! He did not know he was Zhou. Suddenly he woke up and found himself to be Zhou. He did not know whether Zhou had dreamed he was a butterfly or a butterfly had dreamed he was Zhou. Between Zhou and the butterfly there must be some distinction.

At its core the concept of impeccability has as its guiding principle the idea of non-attachment, but this is not the traditional idea of detaching or unattaching from objects or material things. Impeccability is referring to the non-attachment of self from self’s human agreement. (See also related post The Human Agreement). https://gum.co/thaPodast

What exactly is enlightenment? What is the point of spiritual enlightenment?

Hello, Jason Cain here and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today I would like to share my view on spiritual enlightenment and the truth about enlightenment, gurus.

The world is brimful of different cultures, traditions, religions and languages. People living in one geographic location comprehend things in a different manner as compared to those living in another geographic location. However, one thing that is common in people all around the world is their constant search for spiritual enlightenment and the spiritual experience itself. Spirituality, unlike religion, is universal and gives you freedom to choose your path and experience.

What exactly is an ego? How do you separate yourself from an ego?

Hello, Jason Cain here and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and today I would like to share with you about my thought on what is ego and I would also like to understanding the nature of ego from a more truthful perspective.

Your ego is your conscious mind, the part of your identity that you consider your "self." If you say someone has "a big ego," then you are saying he is too full of himself. The ego often indulges in our most basic impulses but it also works to achieve a balance with our cultural and idealistic standards. While the ego from our personal perspective operates at the conscious level, it also has strong ties to subconscious and even the unconscious levels of mind.
