The Buddhists at the Zen centre preached awareness.
*
Example: While preparing a meal, an intentional slowing of the pace initiates the action. Check out how time restraints impact awareness. In a hurry, awareness is never available.
*
Ask yourself the purpose for any action or skill we undertake.
*
I am preparing the best meal possible with the current ingredients available, period.
*
Place a time restraint on this task and it becomes a chore, something to get done immediately.
*
Our choice is unawareness or total immersion. We can become the knife that slices these vegetables.
*
Time becomes irrelevant when we slow down with purpose and intent.
*
Practice going below the surface of life, the shallow exterior of what really exists at a deeper level.
*
Preparing a meal can bring a joy never experienced before.
*
Food is a neutral entity that we can use to explore desire, need, satisfaction and awareness.
