Much more than a 'machine' requiring the right food, rest and exercise, the body, according to Ancient Wisdom, is a living, breathing, light-filled intelligence far beyond the conscious mind. These...

Breath Focus: Advanced Perspectives on a Basic Practice
A Daylong Retreat with Shinzen Young
Breath focus is often thought of as an elementary starter practice. But with a proper understanding, it can lead all the way to Enlightenment.

"All of our lives in this global time, in this multicultural milieu in which we live, are integral. We may practice in more than one wisdom tradition, just as we speak more than one language.

And Zen practice is beyond these...
