To navigate life and achieve inner tranquillity, Stoics engage in reflective practices including meditation (meletê) and contemplation (theoria).

• Zen Koans

  Zen practice comes alive, not in concepts or words, but in the body of experience, insight, and intuition. It becomes powerful only in the wild humus of our encounter as part of the world. Zen describes itself as “a mind-to-mind transmission outside of words.” Zen koans are a ‘gateless gate’ to see the mind afresh.
