What is Zen? The book says that "Zen" directly refers to the human heart and the realization of a Buddha. It is separated from language and words, not a problem that can be solved with logical thinking. We need to experience it ourselves.
Only you know this feeling. The so-called "can only understand but not express it in words", This is the realm of Zen.
The state of Zen is invisible and intangible, and you can only experience it yourself and enjoy it yourself; and this kind of enjoyment is self-help and cannot be shared with others.
The benefits and experience of Zen are only possessed by those who practice, and only those who attain enlightenment are gained by those who attain enlightenment. If you are a person who practices Zen, you will have such experiences and benefits; if you have attained the state of Zen, you will have such benefits.
So how to understand it, it seems that just description is not really experiencing it.
In the book "One Day Zen·My Heart Is Happy All Is Present", the author of uses philosophical words to remind people that only by slowing down and listening to your inner voice can you live your life well.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation in daily life, all contain Zen opportunities. Although modern Western existentialism also emphasizes specific life, what existentialists get is the depression of life, while what Zen masters experience is the joy of Zen enlightenment. To save the crisis of modern culture so that modern people will not lose themselves, you can read this book.

Living in Zen
In daily life, we often fall into various disputes and troubles, and we are always unable to calm down. We yearn for a happy and leisure life, but we are bound in reality. Faced with the rapid development of scientific and technological life, pressure swept from all aspects. For example, when facing work, what I said most now is that everyone must have at least 3 incomes to maintain the current "ordinary urban life". Is this really the case? Actually, what do you want? If you want more, you have to pay for what you want.
In this book, the author uses Zen words to express: a contented life. What are you talking about? Or it is just practice. The troubles in the world are common. Don’t let desires blind your original heart. Let go of your worries, endure loneliness, not be afraid of the future, and a contented life will be broader.
Zen words nourish the inner world and purify the self
If a person's heart is clear and clear, it will be a good day every day, a good night every night, and a blessed place everywhere. What else can be used to confuse him (her) in this way?
The "rare confusion" of the great calligrapher Zheng Banqiao can also be said to be a kind of Zen meaning. "Water is clear and there will be no fish." Sometimes, if you are too clear, it will make people worry. So being confused is also a rare ordinary mind. As Zen says: Everything is as good as it happens. Here goes with the flow. Establish the right direction of life and strive for it.
Enjoy the process of life, not the ending
We live and enjoy the process of life more. Just like the college entrance examination, the annual college entrance examination army crosses a single-plank bridge, and the minority is still the one who can get into the school they like. But if you experience it many years later, the days when you prepare for the exam are also a unique feeling. There are many appreciations and jokes like this: the most cultural days in life are around the college entrance examination.
Don’t force anything, but after giving your all, it’s yours, and what’s not yours will not be yours after all. As long as you work hard, let everything go with the flow.
I often hear many people say that it’s so tiring to live. It is undeniable that when saying this sentence, it must contain a lot of helplessness and fatigue. The two are the self that cannot be open-minded, can't let go, and cannot overcome desires.
In this book, the author says that the most difficult thing in life is to defeat yourself. In fact, it is not easy to defeat yourself, it requires a lot of courage and firm belief.
As the saying goes, "What can be lifted and put down is lifting weights, and what can be lifted and can't be put down is called carrying weights."
Letting go often means that our life begins again, such as new work, new love... In short, as the author said: Letting yourself learn to let go is the beginning of happiness.
Zen is not an abstract wisdom that is broad-minded, and it is unattainable to the world. On the contrary, Zen is approachable and friendly. It is between our walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, and our thoughts, and in every detail of our lives.
You can do what you want at any time, and never use your age to restrain yourself. True is a daily Zen Zen talk about life. Every day Zen talks about positive energy, life is full of Zen everywhere.
