ZAZEN for Parkinson's

ZAZEN for Parkinson's

Dogen Zenji said, “[when you sit zazen] do not think of either good or evil(in other words: FORGET YOUR DISEASE!). Do not be concerned with right or wrong. Put aside the operation of your intellect, volition and consciousness. Stop considering things with your memory, imagination or reflection.” Following this advice, we are free, for the time being, to set aside our highly developed intellectual faculties. We simply let go of our ability to conceptualize. In zazen we do not intentionally think about anything. This does not mean that we ought to fall asleep. On the contrary, our consciousness should always be clear and awake.
