Effects of Zen Mind
Zen is not a state of mind, but a new state of mind can result from following the eightfold path of enlightenment. Take Right Action for example.
Effects of Performing Zen
Performing actions with mindfulness and focus is the essence of Zen and Zazen practice. Seeing others struggling with improper actions can stir many feelings, resulting in better understanding. With proper understanding, one can choose a state of mind that complements Zen and Zazen practice.
Effects of Zen and Awareness
Be aware of the effects and consequences of your actions, and Zen attainment will no longer matter nor be some sacred goal just out of reach.
