         Zen Meditation is unlike other forms of meditation in that there are no external objects of focus or stimulation, such as mantras or music.  Instead, we constantly return to – become one with – our own breath.  We will practice a few simple techniques for learning to do this, and thereby quiet the restlessness of mind and body that obscures wisdom found in silence and stillness.

         The three Recursive Stages in developing Zazen (Zen Meditation) as a method of increasing self-knowledge, equanimity, centeredness, patience, and resilience are:

·      One-pointed concentration

·      Absorption

·      Samadhi
