Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism (also known as Zen or Zen meditation), meditated for nine years, simply looking at a wall.
Nine years staring at a wall.
Good things take time. Don’t be afraid to take your time. Forget what Western society has taught us—here, we are slaves to time and productivity.
I believe one of the reasons the Western world is in decline is precisely because we lack the philosophical and religious structures that enable true freedom and focus on understanding.
Christianity is beautiful in its own way, but it simply isn’t as clear or rational as Eastern philosophy. As a result, it hasn’t managed to foster an environment for genuine seekers or free thinkers in the same way.
We need to take the time to think. The West doesn’t understand that.
Take your time. You are free to take your time. It's **your** time. Take as much time as you want, until you understand what you needed to understand.
