People Beat Themselves Up Sitting By A Wall Just As Easily As Any Where Else.

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.
