VÍCTOR MANUEL GUZMÁN VILLENA
The
holistic worldview of humanity, as an unitary and totalizing conception goes
back to the origins of mankind. The oldest and diverse cultures conceived that
the movement of nature tends toward order and balance, considered the human
being as an integral part of living nature in constant change. Therefore the
oriental cultures learned the existence in this way, being perpetuated until
today. In the West however this culture begins to fade while started the new
increasingly fragmented and materialistic worldview of reality from the dualism
of Descartes, and embodied in its fullest expression in the mechanistic
paradigm of Newton. Taking into account what has been said the direction of
this work aims to highlight the Zen doctrine.
The
principles of Zen are: Perfection for everyone who commands, those who fights
to be peaceful and not be angry; for those who want to win, must not fight; for
that which is served by humans is to serve them. We must take things as they
come, walk when you want to walk, sit when you want to sit. There is nothing to
lose or win. Let things go, not to seek or flee, all afflictions are originate
in the mind So why look elsewhere to get rid of them? as everything is within
us, to trust ourselves and look inside our self, what is there, and remember
that your life is here and now. This is the Zen spirit.
Zen
is that which is closest to the innermost dynamics of creation because it
causes enlightenment. With respect to the Zen experience is necessary to
emphasize the fact that it is not a religion or a philosophy, but a great discipline
of the trip we do since we came to earth to the great goal that every human
being intended, which is lucidity against everything, against the universe.
Zen
is experience, concentrated life, life always conscious or aware of everyday
things, awareness of
all times, all action, all inaction. The sense of Zen is
fundamentally liberating impulse, mental trend diluted antagonisms, supports
coexistence of opposites leads to detachment and articulates areas of the
conscious and unconscious, so that stands in a bold attempt to emancipate the
man for the abolition of the results of the dualistic mind, divisive,
discriminating the rational and the irrational.

the human being for the abolition of the results of the dualistic mind,
divisive, that discriminates the rational and the irrational.
Eastern
culture has a word for this process of rebirth, illumination, and in Zen
Buddhism is satori. The satori (wu in Chinese) clarity there is in the things
themselves, experienced from absolute overcoming all differences, all dualism
is the transcendence of logical circle; but it is an experience that no
conventional language can explain, the conceptualized satori is no longer
satori. The opening of satori can give an inarticulate sound, an observation,
an incident, trivial, ie, it is an act that occurs unconsciously when one's
mind has matured. It is a new birth; intellectually is the acquisition of a new
point of view.
The
enlightened is indeed an awakening and therefore constitutes a new mental
outlook, intuitive insight, an ability that matures as a result, a form of care
that is becoming ever more deeply and slowly defines words, how to combine
them, as opposed to intellectual and logical human understanding, revelation of
a new world hitherto unperceived by the dualistic mind.
The
discipline of Zen can become a way of life, a valuable means of knowledge,
where silence enables a new space where the creative possibility emerges. It is
possible to regain the conjunction of words and silence, "open something
between worfs and silence" and attempt to recov silence, and from there
being a presence that few languages are capable of transmitting.
With
respect to the union with nature by Eastern cultures, Zen maintains a
perception and identification with what exists in it is sacred. The
sacralization of nature touches the everyday, and by extension, daily life
develops from, and in a predominantly natural environment. May also traced the
presence of nature from the experience of non-dual consciousness of reality in
our existence about what it is in our constitutive be and what can learn to
live. This change of perspective produces a completely new sense of reality and
values.
