Kinhin, im Zen-Buddhismus auch Gehmeditation genannt, ist eine Meditationspraxis, bei der man aufmerksam und konzentriert geht. Sie dient als Pause zwischen Sitzmeditationen (Zazen) und unterstützt den Geist bei der Rückkehr in einen Zustand der Achtsamkeit. 
Wie Kinhin funktioniert:
Achtsames Gehen: Man geht langsam und achtsam, konzentriert auf die Bewegung der Füße, die Atmung und die Körperhaltung. 
Haltung: Die Hände werden oft in der Shashu-Handhaltung (linke Faust, umschlossen von der rechten Hand) gehalten. 
Konzentration: Der Fokus liegt auf dem Moment und der Erfahrung des Gehens. 
Ziel: Kinhin soll den Geist beruhigen und die Konzentration stärken. 
Anwendung: Es kann als kurze Übung zwischen Zazen-Sitzungen oder als selbstständige Praxis angewendet werden. 
Zusätzliche Informationen:
Übungsanleitung:
YogaEasy beschreibt eine typische Kinhin-Übung, einschließlich der korrekten Haltung und der Atmung. 
Rinzai-Praktizierende:
Sie gehen im Gegenuhrzeigersinn und legen die rechte Hand auf die linke Hand, mit den Daumen verschränkt. 
Kinhin als Zen-Praxis:
Es ist eine gleichwertige Praxis zum Zazen und dient der Vertiefung der meditativen Erfahrung. 
Kinhin im Alltag:
Kinhin kann helfen, die Achtsamkeit auch außerhalb der Meditation zu fördern.

The phrase "Who exercises true asceticism isn't flying to Nirvana" suggests a Buddhist concept where a practitioner, instead of immediately pursuing enlightenment (Nirvana), chooses to dedicate their time and energy to helping others reach enlightenment. This aligns with the concept of a Bodhisattva, who postpones their own Nirvana to work for the benefit of all beings. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Nirvana in Buddhism:
Nirvana is the ultimate goal in Buddhism, signifying the cessation of suffering and the cycle of rebirth. It's a state of enlightenment and liberation. 
True Asceticism:
Asceticism involves a lifestyle of self-denial and discipline, often involving abstaining from worldly pleasures and engaging in practices like meditation and self-reflection. 
The Bodhisattva:
A Bodhisattva is someone who has achieved or is striving towards enlightenment but chooses to delay their own Nirvana to help others achieve it. This involves dedicating their energy to teaching, practicing compassion, and working for the well-being of all beings. 
The Paradox:
The statement highlights a paradox: While some may strive directly for Nirvana, others, through true asceticism, choose to forgo that immediate goal and instead work for the greater good, believing that their actions will eventually lead to a more widespread and sustainable enlightenment.

Madness helps us - to find our true nature! ... (C. G. Jung)

The statement "Madness helps us - to find our true nature!" is a variation of a quote often attributed to Carl Jung, although the exact wording might not be found verbatim in his published works. The core idea is that exploring the fringes of our psyche, often associated with "madness" or the "unconscious," can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our true potential. 
Here's a breakdown of the concept:
Carl Jung's View on the Unconscious:
Jung's work emphasized the importance of the unconscious mind, both the personal and collective unconscious, as a source of psychic energy and creativity. He believed that integrating these unconscious elements was crucial for individuation, a process of becoming a whole, complete self. 
"Madness" as a Gateway:
Jung saw "madness," in a metaphorical sense, not as a pathological state but as a potentially transformative experience. It could be seen as a descent into the unconscious, allowing individuals to access deeper aspects of themselves and their psyche. 
Finding True Nature:
By exploring these unconscious territories, individuals might encounter aspects of themselves that were hidden or repressed, leading to a more authentic understanding of their true nature. 
Integration and Shadow Work:
Jung's concept of the "shadow" refers to the darker, repressed aspects of the personality. Through confronting and integrating the shadow, individuals can achieve wholeness and a greater understanding of themselves. 
Example: Dreams and Hallucinations:
Jung himself described periods of experiencing vivid dreams and hallucinations as a descent into the unconscious, which he later used to gain a deeper understanding of his own psyche. 
In essence, the quote suggests that by venturing beyond the confines of rational thought and societal norms, individuals can unlock a deeper, more authentic self.

This individual appears to be deeply interested in philosophical and spiritual concepts, particularly those related to Buddhism. They are described as a dreamer and deep thinker, suggesting a contemplative nature and an inclination towards exploring abstract ideas. Their pondering of "the void," Zen, and life points to a fascination with Buddhist principles like Nirvana (the void) and the nature of existence. Zen, a school of Buddhism, emphasizes meditation and the importance of self-understanding. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the concepts:
The Void:
In Buddhism, the void (or emptiness) is a state of non-attachment and liberation from suffering. It is not simply nothingness, but rather the absence of a fixed, independent self. 
Zen:
A branch of Mahayana Buddhism that emphasizes direct experience, meditation, and the importance of intuition over intellectual reasoning. Zen practitioners often seek to understand the nature of reality through introspection and meditation, seeking to break free from the limitations of the ego. 
Life:
The individual's pondering on life likely involves contemplating the meaning of existence, the nature of suffering, and the potential for enlightenment. They might be exploring Buddhist concepts like the Four Noble Truths, which outline the nature of suffering, its causes, the possibility of its cessation, and the path to achieve that end.

“Thanks for this wonderful information ... I firmly believe the longer we live the more we gain for the thoughts and feelings of other ... this was interesting and stood out In my mind "I have also given up most things. The most realistic people have done it. That there is nothing that we should hold on, either we know that at our age - or we try to be crazy ... I think that the more we let go of that we cannot cope with or hope to solve will bring us greater health... thank you dali48”
