Be water my friend (about Zen)
"Empty your mind. Be like water. Put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. Put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. Put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, it can creep, drip or crash!!! Be water, my friend. " Bruce Lee :wink:

I drink the water... Kumasan Lee

Que bien que hablaba mi amigo Bruce. Estos dias estan pasando una publicidad en la tv con Bruce Lee diciendo esto, te hipnotiza. I am water. Yakitori San (the Karate Kid 7)

Bruce Lee is speaking about Zen. Zen is a meditation´s way to don´t make mistakes. Everyone make mistakes. When you have a good level in any japanese art, ikebana, kendo, karate, you need to learn Zen. You think by instinct and you don't make mistakes. Samurais said that one can fight 10000, this is because of Zen Bruce Lee habla sobre el Zen. El Zen es una via de meditacion para no cometer errores. Todo el mundo comete errores. Cuando tienes un buen nivel, en cualquier arte japones, ikebana, kendo, karate, tienes que aprender Zen. Piensas por instinto y no cometes errores. Los samurais decian que uno podia combatir a 10000, esto es a causa del Zen.

The most favorite word that Lee left us is 'Don't think! Feel it!.' If you can really understand this, you can feel Zen too. :wink: Oh I have one episode. When I was young I was practising jumping to kick up on the ceiling of my room. I coudn't reach at all until I tried it again after watching Lee's film of the Road to the Dragon. At that time miraculously I could reach to the ceiling by my jump kick, at least five cms higher than usual! :lol:

achiving Zen
Ok guys you're speaking of the benefits of achieving Zen. I would like to reach that state too, the problem is that i'm an unskillful & very unsubtle guy . :oops: How do i get into to the path of the Zen lacking patience and any kind of skill? :D

I read this book in Spanish: Zen en el arte del tiro con arco Eugen Herrigel (Bungaku Hakusi) ISBN: 950-17-1004-1 I tried to do Zen like the book explain and, when I was ready I played in red by computer with my brother (he is the master playing car games) and I beat my brother playing. He get angry, jajajajajajaja When I´ll be retired from work, I¨ll practise zen

Zen is more difficult, you need years to improve
