The places trained focus can take you are literally out of this world
Zen is a Japanese word that comes from the Chinese Chan, which is from Sanskrit Dhyana (to meditate). Now, do you know which word the Buddha himself used to describe this ?
Jhana — which specifically referred to such absorbed focus that nothing can distract you, even for up to four hours straight.
This is how the Buddha described it in the
SAMADHANGA ( LIMBS OF CONCENTRATION ) SUTRA . .
“There is the case where a monk — quite withdrawn from sensuality, withdrawn from unskillful qualities — enters and remains in the first Jhana:Rapture and pleasure born from withdrawal, accompanied by directed thought and evaluation.He permeates and pervades, suffuses and fills this very body with the rapture and pleasure born from withdrawal.There is nothing of his entire body unpervaded by rapture and pleasure born from withdrawal.”
Sounds worth pursuing, right? At least as much as the pursuit of all the taxing sensory addictions your life revolves around.
This obviously takes training, monk or not. But if modern-day American software engineers like can mould a workable mind, why not you?
Because you do the opposite of what this instruction says.
The Buddha’s responses when asked about concentration are consistent. Multiple discourses echo almost the exact same lines.
When he repeats himself — like when he talked about mindfulness (explained here ) — it is not to bore us.
It’s to say: this is so important, there is simply no other way I should be expressing it.
