Seated meditation (zazen) is the foundation of our practice. Through meditation we come to find a sense of stability and groundedness within all the thoughts, feelings and emotions that arise in response to the events of life.

This sense of stillness is not limited to formal periods of meditation, and gradually permeates all the different aspects of our life. We find that we become more aware of the ways in which we cause suffering, both for ourselves and for others, and this gradually leads us to act in more skilful ways.

As a result, we feel more connected with those around us, and are more able to express the heart of Buddha in our daily lives.

Zen Buddhism emphasises living an ethical life in harmony with the Buddhist Precepts and the heart of meditation. The foundation of this approach is the teaching that all beings are already Buddha, and that we have all we need to live a contented and fulfilled life; when we stop searching for something that we think is missing, we come to truly value that which we already have.

An important aspect of living the life of Buddha is to awaken and express the heart of compassion, through which we come to recognise our interconnectedness with all of existence, and this is expressed in the Bodhisattva Vow to help all beings.
