Let’s start with Zen. What are some of the basic principles of Zen? Wikipedia has them listed as follows:
- Adjust your posture, adjust your breathing, adjust your mind (In service, we bring our whole selves)
- Be light like water in your social interactions (This too shall pass)
- Align your words with your actions (Be honest and true, first to yourself)
- Cultivate your inner safe space (Be your brother’s keeper)
- Surround yourself with people you admire (Be the one we admire – inspire someone)
