In Buddhism we meditate. We make our minds quiet by learning to focus on the chakras, release internal energy that we call kundalini, and bring ourselves into high states of consciousness.

Physical perfection, working out, adds to your spiritual perfection if that is your intent.

The pathway to enlightenment leads to states of ecstasy, knowledge, and a pretty ironic sense of humor.

Put on the music, and listen. Zazen means to sit, to listen. You're listening to enlightenment, to the universes, to the planes of mind.

The wisdom of samadhi is quite different. Higher level wisdom cannot be written down. It cannot be spoken. True wisdom is the knowledge of the universe that is beyond physical expression.

Personal power is really the issue. It is only through tremendous attention to detail that you will be able to gain personal power and searing self-honesty.

What we do outwardly will only interrupt the flow of our perfect attention is it is not in harmony with the dharma.
