Zen" literally means "concentration" or "meditation", but I use the word to refer to the practices in Zen Buddhism that support regular meditation as well as the transcendence that results from it.

Sitting In Royal Ease | Zen Mindfulness

Laquo; Where U At? Sitting In Royal Ease. June 4, 2015 by Ryodo Hawley. This is Kanzeon Bodhisattva sitting in a “Royal Ease” pose in my garden.

As summer approaches, take some time out to assume this Royal Ease position. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.
