Mindfulness and Enlightenment and Zen



An ancient master once remarked "Meditation is the brick with which we knock at the door"


It is encouraging to find "mindfulness" catching on, and the practice of "mindfulness" will have immediate benefits in the life of anyone who takes it up. That said it must be remarked that in Zen, meditation is the exercise that prepares the mind for the transformation of being that is known as Enlightenment.



The signature characteristic of the unenlightened is that their primary identity is still as Human.
