Purity and impurity depend on oneself; no one can purify another

2 to Zen Video #7

Even the briefest of moments contemplating life can be refreshing, like the puddles that collect after the rain.

The Great Buddha teaches that meditation is the vehicle with which we can reach Enlightenment. For people in the modern world, meditation is a difficult concept to practice. No one seems to have the time for anything anymore. We’re all too busy doing everything to have time to do something so simple as meditation. Sitting down, stopping, and just existing, even while the world screams passed us seems so hard. How could anyone sit quietly with just themselves for 20 minutes.

It takes practice to meditate in the way that can bring peace and tranquility. But you don’t have to give up. They say 20 minutes of clear, uninterrupted meditation is best, but it would be easier to start with something shorter. That’s why 2 to Zen exists. Here, you can start off slow and short. Just 2 minutes of mindful, nature-based meditation to clear your mind and find a moment, or 2, of peace. Try it, and enjoy.

There's just something so soothing and refreshing about being on the lake side absorbing the positive energy.

The warmth and light of a fire is comforting. One cold nights, the light and heat remind oneself of the coming day and the possibilities it brings.

2 to Zen Video #1: May all beings have happy minds. 

A peaceful and serene little waterfall into a tiny pool will help the meditative state.

2 to Zen: Video #2: It is in the nature of things that joy arises in a person free from remorse.

The soft rustling sound of the breeze through the greenery is a subtle but gently sound that helps to quiet the noise of life.

2 to Zen: Video #3: You should train like this: ‘I will have good friends, companions, and associates.

After the rain, small gently streams flow. Although temporary and soon to dry up, these rain-fueled streams can be quaint and beautiful.
