Today's description for why I love Zen Buddhism, Zazen, and the Heart of Great Wisdom Sutra

Because proper Zazen "Just Sitting" silently https://zmc.org/images/zazen-sprite.jpg

 is balancing and calibrating the body in a direct perfectly straight line, (a lot like a "plum bob" https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=engineering+%22pumb+bob%22 or line of gravity with gravity in a sense),  between the center of the earth,  vertically through the spine, pineal gland, the sky, and the rest of the Universe.   When my legs are in as near as much lotus position as possible, there is blood, oxygen, and energy squeezed towards the pineal gland completely giving me a full body activation, calibrating centering  and activating the third eye, allowing me to perceive things far more lucidly than what is normally possible.   The heart of great wisdom Sutra is neither nihilism nor eternalism and completely reminds me to discredit material transitory senses:"5 skandas" "5 senses" "5 aggregates" or "5 heaps."
