What is Zen -Jamie Yahaya asked.

Zen Is not the Japanese word for Chan which not the Chinese word for Dyana or the Sanskrit word that does not actually mean a Meditative State of Mind...Zen is not getting lost in Kl especially at night Jamie! So pay attention to your driving and get us there in one piece!
"So you wrote about this Bare Attention, please explain... alamak!~ I think I should have taken that exit..."
Great! and what is this about Bare attention? Bare attention is like seeing nice piece passing by and Not having you jaw dropped and tongue hanging like a Doberman. bare attention is not giving forms to what you see or experience more than what it is...wow what a pair of jugs!! love those round asses! Shot himself! Why? must be some loans or something and it goes on and on rambling just like it is doing in this blogging; Bare attention is learning to detach one mind from unnecessary attachment to details of everyday experiences, perceptions, impulses and consciousness, in short it helps you to clean up your mind. To create a more spacious and less toxic mental state from which we act.
Bare Attention is like Detached Involvement, sounds like a well worn cliche, but still very relevant if one is serious into self discovery or self healing, or it is sometimes describes as 'Wu Wei! or Inactive Action as Alan Watts talks about this subject. It is 'Effortlessness" as the practice of Zen seeks to master in their practice...the effortlessness to in sitting and standing and walking...otherwise Zen is only a Japanese word for...Chan which they most probably could not say properly and added it  with a forceful flavor to sound more like the samurai way of saying Kiri!!
"Where are we now Jamie? Are we lost yet?!"
"No la! don't worry i am just looking for the mosque then i can turn left!"
You know if i were Jamie I would be practicng 'Being Here Now part of my blog! Like what is it to be here right now and not get lost and miss our already ordered lamb chops! Lamb chops should be eaten fresh off the grill Jamie, not an hour after!
"Here we Are! I think! Ayo! parking four ringgit!..."
"Sorry about your loss Sis! and i am for one very proud of what you have done for your mother, it is by my slandered a textbook item. A story worth telling and i am happy to know that your have found your calling now as a great Toast-Madame. Go tell it on the Mountain Jamie! Yours is the triumph of the spirit. Now let us go and chew into those lamb chops Jamie...never mind what happens next!"
