Zazen is all about listening to consciousness, and, whatever anyone may say or think, it requires no authorization, no diploma, no prior stamp, no special clothing,
It either happens or it doesn’t.
And all the stamps, dubbings, books, diplomas, and clothes in the world won’t change anything.
There is even a fear that they will harm the quality of listening.

Notes & Silence 
« Listening to consciousness » is a phrase that betrays how inadequate language seems to express these ideas.
What can listen, save consciousness?
Perhaps « being consciousness »?

A beautiful reminder that the practice of Zazen is direct and personal, rooted in listening to one’s own consciousness, without the need for external validation. Thank you for sharing.✨🙏🏼
