Book Excerpt

Meditation is a technique where one “turns inward” to experience “everything outward”. Often confused with prayer, meditation is in reality the other half of prayer. Whereas prayer is an active, projective method to reach out to God, meditation is an active, receptive method to bring God in.

Both prayer and meditation should be practiced to experience God. We have already learned how to pray with the Nenju by reciting the OM mantra, the Mani mantra and the Heart Sutra. Let us now look at meditation from a Buddhist perspective.

 

About the Author

Dojin Kodo Genki

For five decades, Dojin Kodo Genki has immersed himself in Eastern spiritual and martial traditions. His path began in 1976 under the guidance of Kwanjangnim Kim Chan Yong, followed by intensive training in Yogic Pranayama and Budo with Kyoshi Huichapan starting in 1984. In 1999, he began his formal study of Mugendo Zen—which synthesizes Rinzai and Soto Zen with Mikkyo and Taoist principles—under Koro Kaisan Roshi, who ordained him during his Tokudo ceremony in 2002.
Beyond his spiritual practice, Genki is a U.S. Air Force veteran who served in Europe and the Middle East. Today, he continues his dedication to service through the Kodoan. He holds a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology from The Evergreen State College with an emphasis on Japan, Korea and China.
