#Shinshin (心身) in #Zen #Buddhism expresses the inseparability of mind and body, challenging dualistic traditions. #Awakening is not merely mental but embodied, enacted through posture, breath, and action. This unity redefines realization as a direct, integrated experience of everyday life.

#Mosshōseki (没蹤跡) in #Zen #Buddhism expresses the ideal of acting without leaving traces of attachment or self-reference. Rooted in non-attachment and impermanence (#anicca), it advocates a #MiddleWay: engaging fully in life while letting go of outcomes, embodying freedom and responsibility.

www.info-buddhism.comAbuse and Buddhism: Behind the Smiling FaçadeBuddhism in the West is in a crisis. For years, it had benefited from a reputation too good to be true. Only now are victims of sexual abuse, corruption and cultic behaviour finally beginning to speak out.
#Shingitai (心技体) embodies the unity of mind, technique, and body, central to #Japanese #MartialArts and #Zen. It reflects the Buddhist principle of integrated practice, where #awakening arises from the seamless interplay of thought, action, and embodiment — transcending dualities of theory and practice.

The love and peace you've always lacked can't be fixed with food, luxuries, or pleasures. Nor can it be found outside in things or people.

#Kansha (感謝), gratitude in #Zen, signifies radical acceptance of all life conditions — pleasant or difficult — as integral to reality. Unlike selective gratitude, kansha embodies interdependence and humility, fostering ethical conduct and #compassion. It is a transformative practice central to Buddhist insight.

The mini citadel temple in Banteay Meanchey
Despite the name, the temple complex of Prasat Banteay Chhmar is one of the largest building works from the time of Jayavarman VII. This newly cleared covered walkway between the entrance building and the first temple to the west of the temple is an example of the building style of the era.
Including the great god kings face covering some of the towers in the central parts. Like what is done in Bayon State Temple in the centre of Angkor Thom.
Banteay Chhmar can be directly translated to “Mini/small fortress”. It is situated in Banteay Meanchey province, meaning The Fortress of Victory. This temple is situated far west in today’s Cambodia, but it is situated along the Angkor Khmer Highway, the main road connecting the main cities in the Khmer Angkor Empire together. This temple was directly connected to Angkor Thom via this highway.
Banteay Chhmar, along with its many satellite shrines and dried out reservoir (Baray), comprises one of the most important and least understood archaeological complexes from Cambodia's Angkor period.
It has been under careful and extensive restoration for the last ten years. This has uncovered buildings in the style of the great kings other buildings. There are some detailed decorated friezes and pilasters, and outer walls with extensive bas-reliefs.
Prasat Banteay Chhmar is 3 hours’ drive out of Siem Reap. Suitable for a daytrip, but there are lodgings nearby. Sisophon town is under one hour away with more lodging’s alternatives and small city offerings of food, drinks and shopping.
