Emotions and feelings
A social person is full of wrong ideas about himself and the world. A misunderstanding of nature and essence of emotions is one of the main sources of human suffering. Understanding the fact that emotion is a falsification, substitution, a surrogate for feelings, frees us from a serious attitude to emotions, from the idea of its high value, and as a result, makes us free, calm and happy.
Being Present
We therefore believe that life is a set of events that occur with our body and mind. And this is the main source of human suffering, because we can not control the outside world and become completely dependent on it. But it’s like watching a movie: I disappear in the experiences and events of the characters, but when the film ends I realize that it was all unreal, and was happening inside my Self, which was aware and perceived by these pictures. It is within our Self, in the field of awareness, that there is a real life, and not in a world of objects that change and move, capturing our attention and creating the illusion of life.
Zen Meditation
Having established in motionless position of legs, arms, body and head in a traditional lotus posture, with breathing controlled, incessantly calming of thoughts and integration of consciousness using special methods of concentration, with the development of control over emotions and strengthening the will, with cultivation of deep silence in the farthest corners of consciousness – in other words, Zazen practice creates optimal conditions for looking into the heart consciousness and discovering in it the true nature of existence.
Freedom
Freedom is the highest value, even higher than love.
Unconditional love is only a property of inner freedom. It is always freedom from personality.
Freedom begins with the rejection of human conditionings - the personal perception of oneself and the world.
Then the soul is freed from karma and tendencies.
And finally, the separation of the individual I disappears, the individual Consciousness (Atman) merges with the universal Consciousness (Brahman).
This is the absolute Freedom - Sat-Chit-Ananda!

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and right doing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
Rumi
-
There is a candle in your heart,
ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul,
ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?
Rumi

Silence is the language of god,
all else is poor translation.

Yesterday I was clever,
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
so I am changing myself.
Rumi
