Zen

"A state of calm attentiveness in which one's actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort."

Understanding Zen

Zen emphasizes rigorous self-restraint, meditation-practice, insight into the nature of things, and the personal expression of this insight in daily life, especially for the benefit of others. It is the art of being totally present in the task at hand.

Spiritual Significance

In the Numinous path, Zen represents a key pillar for bridging the gap between physical reality and the subtle energies of consciousness.
