now
i've been doing daily sitting meditation-also known as zazen,which i think is such a cool word-for a couple of weeks now. i definitely think it's been a good thing for me.
recently,i've started reading the power of now by eckhart tolle,which i've tried to read before,but i couldn't really 'get it'. there's something about my recent exposure to zen ideas,particularly brad warner's hardcore zen,that has made it easier for me to understand this book now. yeah,now.
i just read awonderful interview with the author,which i highly recommend if you are interested. i found it very inspiring. he talks about terrorists-'they know not what they do',he says,quoting jesus.and he explains why. he also interprets the cross as a symbol of 'thy will be done'.
another inspiration for me lately has been vedanta.
