Zen means waking up to the present moment. In
other words, you perceive this very moment exactly as it is, and your
thinking should not be adulterated by preconceived ideas, opinions, or
notions. This mindset is the groundwork for mental golf.
To illustrate, you ask yourself the simple
question: “WHAT are you doing?”
“I don’t know” may be the Zen answer, instead of
“I am working at my computer,” because the former comesbefore the
thinking, which will give you the obvious answer: “I am working at my
computer.”
Once, you perceive the nuance and subtlety of “keeping
everything moment to moment,” then you will become enlightened, and
everything will be as clear as a crystal to you.
Remember, each moment remains with that
moment; so, whatever you are doing, just do it -- the moment before
and the moment after this moment has absolutely no bearing on this
very moment.
If you are interested in the Zen philosophy of
love, life, and death, you can read my novel, Forever Yin and Yang,
which is a haunting tale about unrequited love, life and death, and Nirvana,
which is the ultimate truth of Zen wisdom.
