When do you feel a sense of freedom?

[SurströmmingLover]

When? WHEN? w H e N? when?

When I go home and take my bra off

When I'm home alone

When I run in the forest

When I eat Twinkies under the Christmas tree and listening to the song Friday by Rebecca Black

[Phoenix98]

When I am my daily life trying to achieve Mushin

When I practice Niten Ichi Ryu and attempt Fudoshin

When I train to become ever aware Zanshin

Live true Zen, totally connected with the present moment completely connected with the present, never over thinking, Hishiryo

When I am in Zen meditation, to obtain Mushotoku as Zazen is not authentic. Universal wisdom is rooted in Mushotoku and it transcends dualities and limitations created by our egos. When in the state of Mushotoku

When in meditation practicing, Zazen as Satori is an experience; it is a state of mind. The posture of Zazen itself is Satori, and only through the harmony of body and mind one can discover the nature of Satori. For the only way to truly have Satori is by practicing Zazen in the here and now. For It is simply a return to the original, natural condition of the human mind.

That is when I feel at peace and free

The mind that is in total harmony with everything that it resembles a still pond of water without any ripples where the surface reflects a clear and perfectly undistorted image of the surroundings, like a mirror.

Call me old-fashioned but I didn't understand a single word

[Phoenix98]

I know you don't, you wouldn't either because it's Japanese.

[SurströmmingLover]

Is it karate?

[Phoenix98]

Zen Buddhism of the school of Soto

These are concepts of Zen

Mushin is the essence of Zen and Budo. Mushin literally means the "mind without mind", and it is commonly called "the state of no-mindness".

As opposed to what many people think, Satori is not a special state. It is simply a return to the original, natural condition of the human mind.

Fudoshin is the 'immovable mind', that is, the mind that has met all challenges of life, and has attained a state of complete composure and fearlessness. This state of equanimity is essential in the practice of Zazen and Budo.

Zanshin is a concept found in Zen, Budo (Japanese martial arts), particularly Kendo, and in many Japanese arts, such as Ikebana (flower arrangement), chado (the tea ceremony) and sumi-e (ink painting).

Hishiryo is a state of mind beyond thinking and non-thinking. During Zazen, it is the normal condition of the consciousness.

[Phoenix98]

In Zen, the concept of Mushotoku represents a state of mind where the spirit does not seek to obtain anything. This is the attitude of a mind that do not get attached to objects and that seeks no personal profit.

[SurströmmingLover]

[Phoenix98]

When I am not a prisoner of war

[Iron_Man]

Thanks for MH

[SurströmmingLover]

you're welcome. It was a very funny opinion.

[DivaMonae]

I'm not going to lie... I well my girls do feel free when I do #1. But I feel the most free when I'm hanging out with my friends, doing whatever we want, and having the time of our lives. Most importantly parents no where in sight.

[SurströmmingLover]

I find accurate the one about parents

[SolitaireBond]

Most very definitely A.. It's just sheer utter BLISS.

[SurströmmingLover]

yeah, it must be a great relief

[SolitaireBond]

As I have explained to you before I believe! lol :)

[Illusive_Man]

When i have to look for a place to live i suppose lol.
The idea of not having a home in a 10,000km radius is unsettling

[SurströmmingLover]

[justbanANNAz]

LOL the first one is most applicable, but i was also gonna say it's when SCHOOL'S OUT.

[SurströmmingLover]

[smahala1991]

[ChillinChic]

Out of those choices? Running in the forest. Like not being trapped.

[SurströmmingLover]

you can also say something else if it's not in the choices

[Mesonfielde]

I never feel free. I'm confined by my own laziness.

[KDA20]

Option B when you get home close that front door and block outside world out for a while

[zell0is0my0name]

Option E: When I breathe The fresh Air... Complete freedom, honestly

[PhoebeWoriax]

When I fake being sick and don't have to go to school. These are the days I live for 😎

[blondfrog]

When I can fart anywhere I want without being judged for it.

[I_am_repulsive]
