Put zena
Zen Buddhism is very interesting for several reasons, and it is special that a person regardless of his religious beliefs can get an opportunity to grow through it.
Zen Buddhists value meditation and focus on their intuition much more than most people do. Zen is something we should all experience at some point in our lives. If you are looking for peace or simply want to try something new, it will be good to hear and think about the advice of Zen Buddhists.
Never rush, always take your time - the best things in life take time. We should put ourselves into everything we do. If you rush, you will make many more mistakes.
There is a time and a place for everything - although it seems easier to rush things than to let them happen when the time comes, that is not the way. Everything that needs to happen will happen when you are ready for it. The more you rush things, the more mistakes you make.
You should always be as much as possible in this moment - live as if there is no tomorrow and enjoy every second as if it will be your last. Do what you know you'd regret not doing, if you had a few days left to live.
Without humility we have nothing - we must all be humble. And while that means different things to each of us, we come to the truth through humility. We must not allow pride and ego power to overshadow our ability to do good in this world. We must give back to those who give to us.
Do good for benefit, not for reward - don't only do things that will bring you benefits, but help others without having any personal interests. Be kind to others and you will feel better. If you reached the highest peak, and you didn't stop at someone else's door along the way, you will be the loneliest person in the world.
If you want to find peace, stop thinking - although overthinking is something we all do and it's hard to stop, it will bring more peace than you can imagine. Your mind is a scary place and letting it wander is not a good idea. Of course you need to think, but so that you control your thoughts.
Get enough sleep - our bodies are important, if we don't take care of them properly, they will cause us additional pain. Take care of yourself and sleep as much as you need.
Always think before you do something - don't do things without thinking. Never act without thinking about the possible consequences of your actions.
Be aware of the words you say - the things we talk about are important and once we say them, we can never take them back. We must never talk just for the sake of talking. Our words can hurt much more than we realize.
Meditate daily - meditation is something our soul needs. We must never skip a day and we should try to meditate as often as possible. This will help you clear your mind and achieve peace.
Never regret the past - your past does not define you, but it shows how much stronger you are. You don't regret things you can't change. Move away from the past and become a better person, you are capable of much more.
Treat those around you with compassion, always - other people deserve to be treated with compassion. Do not look down on anyone or anything, you never know why they are like that. Life is unpredictable.
