Blogging will become one of the western Zen activities, like calligraphy in Japan.
You can become a Blog-addict or a Zen-blogger.
You can turn blogging into a mundane activity, or into Zen.
It only depends on how you practice it.
Following these 10 simple rules, you can turn your blogging
activity into Zen practice:
1) Let BODHICHITA be your motivation.
2) Be MUSHOTOKU: Let the blog flow naturally.
3) Don´t be concerned about blog traffic: It is a matter
of QUALITY, not of quantity.
4) Be HONEST: Post what you FEEL, not what you
think is better for your image.
5) Let SPONTANEITY be present: Don´t moderate comments.
6) Show your FACE: don´t hide.
7) THANK ALL your visitors: You have a connection with them.
8) Keep a LEARNING ATTITUDE: You can always learn
from your interactions with others.
9) See the blog as EMPTY: it has not a permanent self-nature.
10) See the blog as LUMINOUS: it is a manifestation of your own
mind, and not separate from it.
If you follow this simple rules, blogging will take a new dimension for
you: the ZEN dimension.
Enjoy it.

hello fellow zen blogger, i really love that picture of a zen garden at the bottom of your blog. where did you get it? If it is yours, can I get permission to use it on my blog??
Hi i.cely.
I got the picture of the zen garden in picasa.
You can do whatever you want with it, if you like it. It´s a public picture.
The picuture of the chinese landscape on top of it is also from picasa.
Like Zen, from China to Japan, and now to the west.
I wish you the best.
Namaste
