Chapter 4: Zazen- How To Perform Zazen

Let’s now us focus on the second and extremely important element of Zen: seated meditation. Zazen is the essence of Zen and can help you kill everything unhealthy and unconstructive in your mind and help you develop a sense of peace, contentment, and fulfillment. Let us find out how you can perform Zazen.
