I will start immediately with a brief history
Zen in Zen stories are used as
meditation is called the empty cup a
eminent university professor yes
He went to a Zen master to ask
advice on the changeability of life on
continuous change then like
face this continuous change
in the here and now
but instead of waiting for the teacher and the
his answers began on one side
rightly to expose his ideas to his
concepts his way of being in here and
now his life plans for
face reality
the teacher remained a while in silence
took a pitcher of you and started to
pour in the cup host
bears aversa and is escapes from the cup
go to the ground you can not see that it’s all full
annoyed the professor of being in the
His speech has not stopped the cup and
absolutely fills it, my dear, he said
the teacher like this cup is filled e
I can not put your mind in your mind
it’s too full of your ideas
what does this short Zen story tell us?
this meditation that the first thing from
do to face life to be
now we want innovative creatives for
be in the here and now and free some
our mind and meditation is the
more centered program for this there
There are certainly many other programs
who are minded to reorder
to adjust our thoughts to say
knead however we know well that i
reshuffle in politics in life in the
activities do not work and then the
mind becomes a factor for meditation
important in-depth study
because from vacuum cleaning to silence
it is from there that the new idea can be born
like when we do a long one
trip by car cuts let’s go the
we prepare the same with the machine
our body is not running
we often check up there
we take up the gym to keep us
in good health, we deal with it
only of the body but then when we have to
open the trunk of ours
machine
our mind and we can not
put your luggage to do the new one
journey because we find chains
of the snow we have not used for years
because we have snow tires
we find three umbrellas because we do not know
never that rain we have a kit ready
help then we faint the first drop of
blood or anyway we do not know how to use it
box at the bottom of the trunk that does not
we know more what they contain and
so our mind is so much
clogged with sometimes good ideas but they are
there that remain for years that not
we manage to put new ideas not
we can no longer get rid of it
meditation has passed all the tests
of ri procivil ita and of falsifiability
that are the scientific tests then the
meditation enters as a science to everyone
the effects one of the sciences of the
our mind
we often say that we do not have time
to meditate and to find space though
in the morning when we wake up we have
time to wash ourselves to take off
hundreds of thousands of dead cells
free the intestines and then why
we do not have time to free up a bit
our mind the same in the evening when
we return home we should find the
time to detoxify not to free
from the mind all thoughts and everything
what happened during the
day that we will no longer need the
day after a Zen saying is a good one
word holds a donkey tied to a pole
100 years yes because of good ideas and
we have lots of creativity
especially in Italy the difficulty does not
it’s being creative, the difficulty is not
have good ideas
the real difficulty is to eliminate them
old ideas even if they are good but they are
get old make room in ours
mind and meditation helps us precisely
this
between a creative mind and a non-mind
creative
you know what is the difference that the
creative mind is totally free
it frees almost nothing, but the mind does not
creative is engulfed in thoughts
engulfed by all that is his
past and can not get rid of it
so a practice like meditation
also like Zen and it has been practiced
as you can see from a lot of people steve
jobs
john cage leonard cohen lived three
years in a Zen monastery
but meditation for everyone is not alone
for zero there are companies like
microsoft like google like nike like
deutsche bank numerous companies have
made meditation programs for i
their employees and still produce in
Italy there is the branch with niccolò
branca personally brings the
meditation within his
company
so meditation really is the
point the fulcrum is always becoming
neuroscience is more important
they occupy more and more of the
meditation psychologists i
psychoanalysts whoever takes care of the
mind can not not take care of the
meditation and therefore we must also
find some time during the day
to stop us from entering it as a practice
not just detoxifying but as a quality
of our life
if we really want to stay in the here and
now to cope today especially with this
changeability to this incandescence of the
life we must let meditation enter
which is not a religious aspect e
remove the candles we remove the incense
we remove everything that can be
the religious aspect is an aspect of the
our mind
for this we turn italy turn around
a little around the world to bring it
practice of meditation in the
everyone’s daily graces
