Zazen is a form of meditation in Zen Buddism.
You sit up straight quietly with your legs crossed and eyes closed.
When we have the correct posture and breathing, then we correct our mind.
All you can hear is the sound of birds or wind.
After Zazen, you can enjoy talking with the priest over a cup of green tea.
