Zen Contemplation

Most Zen practitioners
wouldn't recommend it,
but I practice
Zen contemplation,
which is a practice
that I do,
sitting in a chair
or on a sofa,
where I remain
in the first stage
of Zen,
which is the stage
of thinking,
and I allow myself
to think of anything
that comes up,
but I try
not to get angry,
depressed or sad,
and try to practice
the power of positive thinking,
so, in my head,
there is music,
which I try to keep going
with the Great Dharani
of the Heart Sutra,
and since
I hear voices
arising in the mind,
my ego talks
to them,
in a kind of conversation,
so that is the main part
of my Buddhist practice,
and I do it
in order to change
my depressed chemistry
in the body/mind
into an uplifted chemistry.
