While playing with nature every day in Okinawa, I became interested in Zen. The photo is pretending to be Zen! LOL!

In my interpretation, Zen is a new way of thinking.
Through an introduction from entrepreneur Yuki Naruse, he is experiencing Zoom Zen and books by Zenryu Kawakami of Myoshinji Temple, and is studying by listening to a talk by Toryo Ito of Ryosokuin, the Kenninji temple’s head priest.

What they have in common is that they both explain Japanese Zen to Westerners in an easy-to-understand way.
I, too, have come to understand Zen as a boom in mindfulness via the West. These things are easier to understand without history.

First, the background of Japanese Zen is difficult to understand.
Religious.
Image of suffering
Terminology is difficult to understand

The points I thought I might be able to make are as follows.
It’s a way of thinking, so you don’t have to understand religion.
No need to be zazen, you can dress as you like.
Easy to understand with Mr. Kawakami’s explanation, who is familiar with English.

Fukuda-style “Zen” style
Do it in the morning because it makes you sleepy, and sit still for about 10 minutes.
I am not going to be in a place where I can’t think about anything else. *Maybe a family restaurant would be a good choice.
Stay away from music on your phone or earbuds.
So I write down what comes to my mind after 10 minutes.

I heard that it takes an average of 23 minutes for a person to concentrate on something, but since I am a Sekkachian, I imagine that I have 5 minutes to get rid of my thoughts and the remaining 5 minutes to concentrate. I could do it in a sauna, but the problem is that I can’t write it down.
But if I come up with a good idea in the middle of the process, I stop as soon as possible and write it down. Because it’s an idea method.
