Recorded in one take, moved some things around and looped. E-flat and A-flat were speaking to me most here.

Run Little Birdy

Untitled7-27

Four Sōtō Zen Buddhists contemplate zazen. 

Translation from Japanese:
[We practice zazen to settle our mind, or we could also say, to put our mind in order, but we don't just simply sit.

In everyday life our eyes are open, so zazen must be of use in this case, too.

We open our eyes in as much as possible, a natural way. Our field of sight includes the view in front of us. Our awareness may be put in our left palm; we put our palms together like this, and we place our awareness on our palm. 

We can also put our awareness about five centimeters below the navel, in the lower abdomen.

We focus our awareness on one of these places.]

The reason why the place of the awareness and the place of our eyes' focus are somewhat different is that although the eyes' position is natural, the center of our awareness is there, where the mind is.
We could also say that the place of the awareness becomes the centre of the zazen.

So we receive the sky's chi, the sky's energy through the top of our heads, and pull up the earth's chi, the earth's energy from below, 
and these two unite in the lower abdomen.

This teaching is the basis of zazen.
