Zen Buddhism. I dabbled with the concepts and played with the idea of taking it seriously for about 15 years before I finally surrendered to the idea and it changed everything.
- sdfin 5y agoHow did you learn it? Which books/teachers?
- lanstin 5y agoNo books. Just sit. Follow your breath if you must "do" something. A teacher and a community to sit with make it a lot easier.
- CPLX 5y agoI became interested through books but ultimately if it’s something you’re interested in pursuing you’d want to find a temple or community and practice with those that have more experience. Two books I read early on that I recommend are The Tantric Distinction and Zen Mind Beginners Mind.
