HI, reading all what is going on in this group I got some questions in my mind like: Is zen (Buddhism) a lifestyle, some way of doing things that one has to learn to be happier?
Or is a method for the people that recognize the suffering in their lives, to obtain liberation from that pain by awakening to the fact the pain is produced by our own thinking and our beliefs that we are solid thinking beings and that what we think of every phenomena occurring is reality? Someone said somewhere that, to recognize the chains is being fifty per cent closer to freedom. So, Zen practitioners instead of beating themselves up they seat in front of a wall.
