Zen 1

How And Why We Meditate
2

© Copyright 2023 Carl Mando Atteniese / All rights reserved.

In Zen 1, Carl—AKA “Mando”—explains why we sit in meditation, and the misconceptions about that in terms of Zen; he briefly teaches how to meditate in this primer for future lessons—and describes benefits (often confused as the initial goals of meditation); Carl draws on his own training in Korea and Japan and from his reading over the years; most useful, he gives examples from the things around him, while out for a walk, making this podcast in New York. These serve as representations of the figments of the mind which distract us during meditation.

Join Carl in this first lesson on ideas about meditation and begin to move toward doing what you thought you couldn’t—by starting with an understanding of this millenniums-old method of mind, which is so often misunderstood… at our peril.
