Zen

Do you find yourself frantically searching for your keys or the shoes you swore you kicked off in the living room just last night? Do you promise yourself each day as you walk out the door that when you return back home, you will finally tackle that disturbing mess you just left behind only to return home tired and so far removed from the early morning panic that you don't do anything but add to it? You kick off a second pair of shoes and the cycle continues. Procrastination and disorganization…

enjoys being able to see preserved nature in a world where its constantly disappearing. He also relishes the opportunity it presents him to get away from people and from life in general, to go out and spend some time alone.

According to Phoenix, Walden is about a man who goes out, lives in nature, and finds out what it means to be alive. Since…

Unlike their parents, the American youth advocated for women’s and civil rights and, endeavored to revolutionize American values with their ideas (Haight-Asbury Beat of a Generation).

Customs and rituals are usually turned to during special occasions such as birth, weddings, funerals, visiting shrines and temples on religious holidays, and festivals. The two religions, Shinto and Buddhism, harmoniously coexist and even complement each other to a certain degree. Many Japanese people consider themselves Shintoist, Buddhist, or both. Shintoism is…

had long forgotten what I wrote and I was a little worried. Would I find that I feel differently than I did then? Did I say something I wished I hadn't? Have I changed a lot or maybe not enough? From Weekend Meditation: Washing-Up Buddha: In the Zen vernacular, when you wash the dishes, the dishes also wash you.

The trilogy includes aspects of Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and even Christianity. Sometimes it is hard to find, but the teachings of Christ and the truth of the gospel are paralleled several times in the films in the morality of the Jedi and Luke Skywalker. With that, while the Force and Holy Spirit are alike, the Force is not the only small aspect of God in the films. Caleb…
