When you cling to fixed thoughts, opinions, or memories, it’s like taking a picture and mistaking it for reality. Explore how attachment to thought distorts our perception and disconnects us from the present moment.

"Complicated" is the debut single by Canadian singer-songwriter #AvrilLavigne from her debut album, #LetGo (2002). It was released on 11 March 2002 by #AristaRecords. Lavigne and production team #theMatrix (#LaurenChristy, #ScottSpock, and Graham Edwards) are credited as #writers. Production on the song was helmed by the Matrix. According to Lavigne, the song is about being honest with oneself rather than "putting on a face".

Before enlightenment: coffee. After enlightenment: coffee.
No need to change your drink. Just change your relationship to it.
Sit. Sip. Wake up.
Join us for meditation and Dharma talks at The Zen Art Center.
Your mind is always empty—yet it gives rise to everything. From this space, all energy, form, and experience arise—just as waves arise from the still ocean.

Trying to understand Zen with your thoughts...
...is like trying to see the sky by painting clouds on your window.
Zen isn't about collecting more ideas—it's about letting go of them.
Return to the moment. Sit quietly. Let the sky reveal itself.
Want to experience this for yourself? Join us for meditation and Dharma talks at The Zen Art Center.
Your mind can hold everything in the universe—but it can never be filled. Unlike a room that can be filled with objects, your mind remains unchanging and infinite—no matter what thoughts or ideas arise within it.

Everything we call “physical” is just a pattern—a wave in motion.
Waves may appear solid for a moment, but like waves on the ocean, they rise and fall. If you think you can understand the whole of reality by studying the surface, you’re missing the vast depth beneath it.

When you're attached to your body, your identity, and your karma, it's like clinging to waves on the surface of the ocean—constantly moving, constantly changing. So if you're holding onto a wave... what are you actually holding onto?

Your mind is constantly filled with thoughts—and that’s why learning to focus on the present moment takes practice. Sitting meditation trains you to clear your mind of wandering thoughts, helping you stay present and focused.

Your mind is like a mirror—it reflects whatever comes in front of it. Zen means to remain fully present, engaged, and responsive to what is happening right now. When the mirror of your mind is clear, it reflects the truth in every moment.

When we cling to our thoughts, desires, and opinions, we become detached from reality—not grounded in the present moment. True presence doesn’t mean ignoring thoughts—it means letting go of clinging so that your mind can meet each moment as it truly is.

Your mind is like a mirror—it reflects whatever is placed before it. But when you cling to fixed ideas or memories, it's like taking a photograph and mistaking it for reality.

Science and mathematics can help us approximate the truth—but they can never fully capture it. As long as we rely on physical properties and language alone, uncertainty remains—and with it, the impossibility of absolute truth.

Your mind is a mirror.
Every thought, belief, and emotion—just dust on its surface.
When you’re fully present, no dust can cling.
Live each moment with total focus.
Make your life your meditation.
And in time… the mirror clears.
Your mind is a mirror.
But every experience, belief, and thought leaves behind dust.
Eventually, you stop seeing the world clearly…
and start mistaking the dust for who you are.
Clear the mirror. Return to clarity.

It feels safe to believe you’ve figured things out.
But the comfort of “knowing” is often a trap.
What if your certainty is built on delusion?
To be free, you must stay adaptable… and let go of what you think you know.

Your body will change. Your mind will change. Your relationships will end.
Everything in front of the mirror is impermanent.
But the mirror—the mind itself—does not change.
