Kanagawa, Japan -- (SBWire) -- 06/12/2023 --For Daigo Ozawa, the head abbot of Tokozenji, zazen (seated meditation) is equal to breathing, eating, sleeping, and so on. Thus, he doesn't think about whether it is too long or too short. He says, "Just as when you breathe, you don't think about it."

In busy modern society, why do we feel like we are always racing against time? His answer sheds light on our perspective of time. When we let go of our purpose or conditioning of what we do.

In this episode, Ozawa head abbot will guide us through childhood memories of growing up in a Japanese temple to the training in a monastery, he will share with hints on how to become a master of time and of life.

"If you are a true master of yourself, able to listen carefully to your inner voice, possess the courage and determination to carry out what you truly want to achieve without being distracted by anything, you will be able to discern the right thing to do and become a master of your time." — Daigo Ozawa, Head Abbot of Tokozenji

About Let's open the box of ZEN!
Monday at 12pm PST on the Voice America Empowerment Channel
We often hear the word "Zen," but what exactly is Zen? I remember a well-known monk at a Zen temple in Japan who has been cultivating Zen since ancient times, smiling and saying, "Actually, I still don't know what Zen is." Like a bottomless box, the answer is endless. A mind that is not trapped, free and fresh thinking is the base of ZEN philosophy, thus answers like the monk's come into play. However, the reality is that our mind and body can easily be trapped by outside stimuli. As a practitioner of J.F Barnes's Myofascial Release approach, I have seen many physical conditions deeply tied to trapped emotions. I have also seen and experienced miraculous healing by letting go of those emotions or past experiences. While it is so easy to be swallowed by the force of the negative experiences, there are ways to find peace, balance, and strength to stay in tune. Guests from various backgrounds and I will seek the ways of how to let go of challenges of love, grief, time, power, fear, anger, etc.
